There and Back Again Oh I ve loved this fairy tale since childhood my mother read it to me many times before bed and I myself reread it many times later although now I ve forgotten some moments Still Peter Jackson s films leave their mark and the details of the book and the film adaptation get confused in the mind I don t think Professor Tolkien himself knew what his passion for legends and the scientific work of a philologist would turn into He himself says that the idea to write The Hobbit did not even occur to him one day while checking exam papers he wrote on a blank sheet of paper In a hole in the ground there lived a hobbit And then everything spun by itself and caught by an unknown force he created a fairy tale from which a whole new world was born In many ways the world of Middle-earth is similar to ours and is inspired by the folklore of the peoples of the North Scandinavian Celtic and Old English mythologies Many names plots and general atmosphere are taken from these cultures so in many ways the universe of Middle-earth is the ideological heir and continuer of these cultures This is probably why everyone in the north loves this universe so much haha Have you read The Hobbit as a child cute teen babyface nerd skinny
