I agree we are both strange people and were in the room with you.

John Garth's talk today was excellent, and he has produced a booklet called Tolkien at Exeter College, which has a lot of previously unpublished material, pictures and Tolkien manuscript pages from just before WW1.

You may also want to have a look at Longfellow's Hiawatha in relation to a certain bird and the death of a dragon from one of Tolkien's books.

The booklet is mentioned on John's website, and I will try to find out how interested members can buy a copy from John and post here.

Please do find out where/how I and other remote people can get copies!

Thanks.

Still trying to find out where to get copies, and I have been told that it is limited to 100 copies (about two thirds of these have already been sold).

John Garth and Malcolm Lindley (who was selling them at Oxonmoot) are both on Facebook, for those of us who have accounts there. John has a website at www.johngarth.co.uk

Thanks Trotter!

John was telling me at Oxonmoot that he is hoping to reprint the booklet shortly with a few corrections and additions including the Exeter College freshmen photo that was on display at Oxonmoot.

"We met up with John Garth, author of Tolkien and the Great War and the newly published Tolkien at Exeter College, at Oxonmoot to talk about his work and the upcoming centenary of Middle-earth next Wednesday."

Oh noes ...

Thanks to Ian's kindness I am now the owner of one of the first 100 copies ... but there is going to be a new, changed one? So I need to get that as well? :D

Well, for that kind of booklet it's most definitely worth the effort.
