224 Whose Story Line Is It Anyway?

Published: Oct. 10, 2021, 3 p.m.

One does not simply walk into Mordor without a recap, so before we start our readthrough of Book IV of The Lord of the Rings, we\u2019re reviewing previous chapters to reacquaint ourselves with a couple of characters we haven\u2019t seen for a while (no one special; just Frodo and Sam, the guys whose mission really matters here). After a look back at the story so far, we look ahead to the themes we\u2019ll explore in the coming season. But first, dragons rejoice! We welcome Jeremy Edmonds of the website Tolkien Collector\u2019s Guide to the common room for a little Tolkien Collecting 101.
