The War of the Ring
by J. R. R. Tolkien
This eighth volume on the development of Tolkien's Middle-Earth brings to conclusion the three books that deal specifically with the creation of The Lord of the Rings. Illustrated with plans and drawings.
Sauron Defeated
by J. R. R. Tolkien
In the first part of Sauron Defeated, Christopher Tolkien completes his account of the writing of The Lord of the Rings, beginning with Sam's rescue of Frodo from the Tower of Kirith Ungol, and giving a very different account of the Scouring of the Shire. This part ends with versions of the previously unpublished Epilogue, an alternate ending to the masterpiece in which Sam attempts to answer his children's questions years after the departure of Bilbo and Frodo from the Grey Havens. The second part introduces The Notion Club Papers, now published for the first time. Written by J. R. R. Tolkien in the interval between The Two Towers and The Return of the King (1945-1946), these mysterious Papers, discovered in the early years of the twenty-first century, report the discussions of a literary club in Oxford in the years 1986-1987. Those familiar with the Inklings will see a parallel with the group whose members included J. R. R. Tolkien and C. S. Lewis. After a discussion of the possibilities of travel in space and time through the medium of 'true dream, ' the story turns to the legend of Atlantis, the strange communications received by members of the club out of remote past, and the violent irruption of the legend into northwestern Europe. Closely associated with the Papers is a new version of the Numenorean legend, The Drowning of Anadune, which constitutes the third part of the book. At this time the language of the Men of the West, Adunaic, was first devised - Tolkien's fifteenth invented language. The book concludes with an elaborate account of the structure of this language by Arundel Lowdham, a member of the Notion Club, who learned it in his dreams. Sauron Defeated is illustratedwith the changing conceptions of the fortress of Kirith Ungol and Mount Doom, previously unpublished drawings of Orthanc and Dunharrow, and fragments of manuscript written in Numenorean script.

Silver Birch, Blood Moon
by
In this triumphant new collection of original fiction, Neil Gaiman, Patricia A. McKillip -- and eighteen more of today's leading writers spin the cherished fables of childhood into glittering gold -- offering magical tales for adults, as seductive as they are sophisticated. A jealous prince plots the destruction of his hated brother's wedding by inventing a "magic" suit of clothing visible only to the pure at heart...A young girl's strange fairy tale obsession results in a brutal murder...An embittered mother cares for her slowly dying son who is trapped in a thicket that guards a sleeping beauty...In a bleak and desolate industrial wasteland, a group of violent outcasts lays the tattered myths of one Millennium to rest, and give terrifying birth to those of the next. Erotic, horrific, witty, and altogether extraordinary, these stories lay bare our innermost demons and desires -- imaginatively transforming our youthful fantasies into things darker, slyer, and more delightfully subversive.

MacLeod, Ian R
WI: Arkham House. Fine in Fine dust jacket 1996. First Edition; First Printing. Hardcover. 269 pages; Fine/Fine. New Fantastic DJ by Nicholas Jainschigg. From Sixty Years of Arkham House: "2542 copies printed. MacLeod (b. 1956) is a English author; this is his first published volume, consisting of stories published in horror and science fiction magazines between 1990 and 1995." From Publishers Weekly:"In stride with MacLeod's haunting first novel (The Great Wheel; Forecasts, June 30) comes this first collection of his acclaimed short fiction. The 10 stories included here combine elements of horror, fantasy, SF and realistic fiction as expressed by an assured literary voice. Settings range from the future ("Starship Day"; "The Perfect Stranger"; "Papa") to a present-day world identical to ours except for the existence of dream telepathy ("Ellen O'Hara," a story of the Irish Troubles). "Grownups" presents a culture of three sexes (men, women and uncles), and "The Giving Mouth" takes place in a fantasy landscape of mining, coal and smoke, where knights in animated armor ride steamhorses made of "liveiron." In all the tales, the fantastic blends seamlessly with the realistic. Above all, the stories focus on people, relationships and the human condition, which MacLeod imagines as melancholy and fatalistic ("Marnie") or horrific ("1/72nd Scale"). MacLeod's originality enriches and enlivens the genre, and his fiction--though often grim--should be read by everyone looking for something that is truly out of the ordinary." .
