Does Legends of the Ring have any relation to Tolkien, or is there another reason these are all being sold together?
Not directly, but I can see why the house may have grouped them together as it’s Divided into two the ring legends of Scandinavia and the ring legends of Germany.
Another Auction House is selling Folio items, I have the Beowulf and it is a great edition.
