Discover a rare gem from J.R.R. Tolkien with ‘The Bovadium Fragments’, a previously unpublished satirical fantasy. Edited by his son, Christopher Tolkien, this unique work offers a private academic jest born from a 1940s Oxford controversy. Tolkien playfully mocks academic pomposity and ‘machine-worship’ while lamenting the loss of tranquility to motor transport. Enhanced with the author’s illustrations and Richard Ovenden’s insightful essay on Oxford at the time, this collection provides a poignant glimpse into Tolkien’s worldview and his love for the natural world. A final, moving presentation from Christopher Tolkien, this book is a must-have for any admirer of J.R.R. Tolkien’s genius.
