Based on Tolkien's letter of disapproval to Allen and Unwin; I find Tolkien's idea of 'taste' pretty fascinating. I've read several of Tolkien's letters, where he despises the work of Walt Disney, which he claims to find 'nauseating'. I suppose he has his reasons, as he felt fairy tale stories weren't simple tales for children.<br /><br />Off-hand, I was particularly intrigued by C.S. Lewis' comment on Walt upon Snow White's release, "What might not have come of it if this man had been educated-- or even brought up in a decent society?". It strikes me as snobbery there...<br /><br />Hope you are well, Brian, and I apologise if I've been neglectful in the blog-sphere these days!Steven Hartleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13825398324719609394noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28039080.post-71971719419027085982017-04-20T16:29:55.375+01:002017-04-20T16:29:55.375+01:00There was also the first edition of Understanding ...There was also the first edition of Understanding Tolkien by William Ready which had cover art very reminiscent of Remington.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00693551689695724482noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28039080.post-12067793158467771222017-04-19T01:13:55.872+01:002017-04-19T01:13:55.872+01:00First copy I got from my brother Christmass 2966. ...First copy I got from my brother Christmass 2966.
