Tolkien's THE SILMARILLION provides the cosmology behind his best know works THE LORD OF THE RINGS and THE HOBBIT. It presents all that came before, preparing Middle-earth for the War of the Ring. But lacking the same storytelling structure of those best known works, Tolkien's legendarium can present challenges to readers. Here we talk strategies, resources and tips for readers who may find the names, geography and massive volume of characters to be a challenge. But if you are for the challenge, arm yourself with this advice and prepare to be richly rewarded by one of Tolkien's essential works. <a rel="payment" href="https://buymeacoffee.com/larrydcurtis">Support the show</a>Contact: TheTolkienPodcast@gmail.com
