Names: On Fairy-Stories
Primary Colors And Their Use
Writing can be equated with the use of primary colors. J. R. R. Tolkien used that metaphor, anyway, when he explained his thoughts about fantasy.

The Making Of A Myth, Part 7 – Tolkien And The Gospel
Few people, even those not well-versed in fantasy, will argue against the idea that J. R. R. Tolkien is the master of the fantasy genre. In that he wrote his thoughts about this type of tale in his essay “On […]
