Sara, as some of this misinformation has come from your school's web site, the incorrect quote, incorrect spelling of Middle-earth and 'appalling' handwriting, you might want to ask them to remove or update the page. http://rydalpenrhos.com/news/13/04/lifelong_passion_for_tolkien As I think we have already stated it is a shame that these things seem to go out of control on the internet.

£22.95 is not bad for The Hobbit it is a nice book, 2 copies on ebay at the moment and at about the same price with the discount.
Impressions for Folio Society are very difficult to gauge, does anyone know of any good resource for Folio Society publications in terms of impressions?

Bloomsbury are also auctioning on the 16th May a 1st/1st set of the Lord of The Rings (no dust-jackets) with a very low estimate.

BBC Radio 4 - In Our Time
Icelandic Sagas Thursday 9th May 2013 The Icelandic Sagas were first written down in the 13th century and tell the stories of the Norse settlers who began to arrive in Iceland 400 years before. They contain some of the richest and most extraordinary writing of the Middle Ages. Full of heroes, feuds, ghosts and outlaws, the sagas inspired later writers including Sir Walter Scott, William Morris and WH Auden. Melvyn Bragg is joined by Carolyne Larrington, Fellow and Tutor in Medieval English Literature at St John's College, Oxford; Elizabeth Ashman Rowe, University Lecturer in Scandinavian History at the University of Cambridge and Emily Lethbridge, Post-Doctoral Researcher at the Árni Magnússon Manuscripts Institute in Reykjavík. http://downloads.bbc.co.uk/podcasts/r ... ot/iot_20130509-1045a.mp3 Attach file:  In Our Time Icelandic Sagas.JPG (79.40 KB)
