<p>A renowned scholar of the English language, Tolkien is today celebrated as the father of the high fantasy genre. Drawing on his knowledge of languages, mythology and legend, he created an entire alternative reality, Middle Earth, and populated it with hobbits, orcs, ents, dragons, magicians and giant spiders.</p><p>Packed with fascinating facts about Tolkien's life and labours, this delightful volume includes extracts from his works, letters and interviews, as well as from his contemporaries and admirers. It's a celebration of the writer whose imagination and creative genius changed the course of fantasy literature.</p><p><b>'I would rather spend one lifetime with you, than face all the ages of this world alone.'</b><br/><i>The Fellowship of the Ring (1954)</i></p><p><b>'I am in fact a Hobbit (in all but size). I like gardens, trees and unmechanized farmlands; I smoke a pipe, and like good plain food (unrefrigerated), but detest French cooking...'</b><br/><i>Tolkien in a letter to Deborah Webster, 25 October 1958</i></p><p><b>In July 1915, Tolkien took part in the Somme offensive, the bloodiest battle of the Great War. While recovering in hospital from trench fever, he wrote his first Elvish word list, as well as the first fragments of what would become <i>The Silmarillion</i>.</b></p><p><b>The inspiration for <i>The Hobbit</i> came to Tolkien unexpectedly in the summer of 1930, while he was working his way through a huge stack of student essays. On a blank page he found himself scrawling, 'In a hole in the ground there lived a hobbit.'</b></p>

<p>Orlam reveals PJ Harvey as not only one of the most talented songwriters of the age, but a gifted poet - whose formal skill, transforming eye and ear for the lyric line has produced a strange and moving poem like no other.</p><p>Nine-year-old Ira-Abel Rawles lives on Hook Farm in the village of UNDERWHELEM. Next to the farm is Gore Woods, Iras sanctuary, overseen by Orlam, the all-seeing lambs eyeball who is Ira-Abels guardian and protector. Here, drawing on the rituals, childrens songs, chants and superstitions of the rural West Country of England, Ira-Abel creates the twin realm through which she can make sense of an increasingly confusing and frightening world. Orlam follows Ira and the inhabitants of UNDERWHELEM month by month through the last year of her childhood innocence. The result is a poemsequence of light and shadow suffused with hints of violence, sexual confusion and perversion, the oppression of family, but also ecstatic moments in sunlit clearings, song and bawdy humour. The broad theme is ultimately one of love carried by Iras personal Christ, the constantly bleeding soldier-ghost Wyman-Elvis, who bears The Word: Love Me Tender.</p><p>Orlam is not only a remarkable coming-of-age tale, but the first full-length book written in the Dorset dialect for many decades. Orlam also reveals P J Harvey as not only one of the most talented songwriters of the age, but a gifted poet whose formal skill, transforming eye and ear for the lyric line has produced a strange and moving poem like no other.</p>

The stories behind the music with an album by album analysis, accompanied by images from many of the most well known contemporary rock photographers . The Who defined a generation and rocked the world. "My Generation," "Pinball Wizard," and "Baba O'Riley" are some of the most well known tracks in rock history.

Drink & Snaps ... and Glass. At the dedication of the new Crystal Bar at Orrefors in 2006, some glass designers were charged with presenting and naming their own drinks. Naturally, they were served in hand-blown glass from their own collections. Some of the drinks are presented here in the Designers' Drink Selection, but also included are the traditional gin & tonic and several other exciting combinations. Or why not try your own snaps flavouring or a coffee drink for rainy days? In Drink & Snaps and Glass we also get tips from the bartender - what equipment is needed in the bar at home, which glasses are appropriate for different types of drinks and what ought to be included in a well-assorted bar cabinet. Page through and read - and enjoy the photos. Let your imagination run free and bear in mind that a drink should not only taste good, but it should also be beautiful to look at.
