    In a quiet, shadowed corner of the Prancing Pony, the destiny of Middle-earth takes a turn with the arrival of a mysterious figure—a ranger known only as Strider.

Excellent resource for LOTR fans

Loving the easily digestible yet detailed presentation of the stories of the Silmarillion. I've always wanted to know more of Tolkien's lore but don't have the time to sit down and read the Silmarillion.
