Worth the read for a die hard Tolkien fan. The biography was very brief, that's O.K. Some of the essays were very interesting. Gotta admit, I skimmed the poetry and what I call fanfic. The recipes look very good, although I'm not sure they are authentic to the works of Tolkien. There is a recipe for Gollum which requires one to bake the fish. I think he would hate that.
Summary:
Tolkien Treasury is a collection of poems written by other people about the Lord of the Rings books. Some poems are about certain characters or just the imaginary Middle Earth that is created by this author. You really should be familiar with the books to appreciate the collection of poems.

Reaction:
It is interesting to see how others interpret the characters and setting from this collection of poems. Sometimes they bring out other things from their imagination that I would not have show more picked up on.

Activities:
Choose a poem and create a bookmarker with that poem. You could even cut the bookmarker out to create a shape from the poem or book.

Create a greeting card using one of the poems from this collection.
