A blog for fans of J.R.R. Tolkien, from complete beginners to avid enthusiasts, exploring the author's imaginary world, influential writing and cinematic adaptations.
Well, it’s that exciting time again when I can announce the release of a new publication! 😀
I’m super thrilled to be able to share with all of you Anarchy for the Innocents, which I’ve been working on for the past few months, and was in fact one of the reasons for not being too active here on this blog.

Hey all! I’m super excited to report that a great number of people have backed up my Kickstarter campaign for the publication of a special hardback edition of Hæstingas: A retelling of the valiant fall of England in verse.
The book is a historical fantasy, 4,000-line epic poem set during one of the most turbulent times in English history.
We’re only 5 days away from the end of the campaign. So if you wish to back this project, now’s the time to do so 😀
Copies of the paperback edition of Hæstingas are still available from Amazon.com and Amazon UK.
Till next time! 😉
Hey everyone! We’ve hit the 1k subscribers mark on YouTube and, to celebrate that, here’s a video with an overview of my Tolkien book collection. Enjoy!
Hey folks! Back again from the shadows 🙂
I hope you’re all sage and are having a good start to the new year.
Just dropping by for a quick shout-out to a Kickstarter campaign just launched.
As many followers of this blog may know, I wrote a book back in November 2019: Hæstingas: A retelling of the valiant fall of England in verse.
The book, a historical fantasy, 4,000-line epic poem set during one of the most turbulent times in English history, is now getting the Special Edition Hardcover treatment!
If you have an interest in Anglo-Saxon history, are a fantasy reader and love to odd-bit o’ poetry (as Samwise Gamgee would say) every now and then, your support in this endeavour would be most appreciated!
Rewards and bundles are there for the taking, so head over to the Kickstarter campaign page and take a look.
In the meantime, copies of the paperback edition of Hæstingas are still available from Amazon.com and Amazon UK.
Till next time! 😉
Here it is … the unboxing of the latest Tolkien publication.

Hello again everyone! I seem to be back 😀
Although “back” is rather misleading. I was always “here”, both figuratively and literally. Following my ‘Farewell‘ post some eight months back, I kept visiting the blog and ensuring I replied to any new comments popping up every now and then on any posts.

It’s July 8th and that means another year has passed since the creation of A Tolkienist’s Perspective!
I can’t believe how swiftly time has passed since typing my first post, which was achieve with much trepidation and doubts as to how it would be received. Continue reading “This blog is 5 years old!”
It’s been exactly one year since I wrote my first post for this blog (‘The Journey Begins!’).
Back then I was uncertain how things would develop and I certainly couldn’t see myself still writing about Tolkien 12 months later.
