thanks j.d. and you are so correct
I mainly got them for my personal liberary and for my son. who now is tackling the hobbit, he loved neil hancocks books so i figured why not steer him to the man who i feel greatly influenced hancocks circle of light and windamir books.
they are a tough read atleast for me
enjoy your travels through the worlds of wonder
