The November 29, 1954 issue of Newsweek had a review of Fellowship and included a rather (unintentionally) funny cartoon of the battle in Balin's Tomb.

This was obviously September 1973, but do you know the date of the paper/magazine that this was printed in?

Dale's earlier post on this thread said it was the Times Literary Supplement on 14 September 1973.

How quirky! The origin of those feathers and beaks is an intriguing mystery.

Thanks for sharing more of these Dale Nelson.

That Herald Tribune review of ROTK really is glowing. I rather like how the reviewer uses the exact same phrase "fairy tale for adults" as Jackman does in his scathing review (of FOTR) in Theology. At least they agree on something!

Here’s a review I found in my Smith of Wootton Major, that the original owner kept.
This would have been from a U.K. newspaper according to adverts on the reverse side. Which one I don’t know.
