Oh dear. I just pulled it from the shelves of our church library, so I hope to see a good report on it :/

I've read this one. It's not bad, but compared to his other works, it seems rather labored.

Fully understanding the book requires familiarity with the British intellectual climate of the 1920s. As Marcus suggests, don't belabour the details. But it is well worth reading.

…on a night of rain Frodo smelled a sweet fragrance on the air and heard the sound of singing that came over the water. And then it seemed to him that as in his dream in the house of Bombadil, the grey rain-curtain turned all to silver glass and was rolled back, and he beheld white shores and beyond them a fair green country under a swift sunrise.
