'Even the smallest person can change the course of the future.' Addressed to Frodo as he prepared to travel from Lothlórien to Mordor to destroy the One Ring, the prophetic words of Galadriel in the film The Fellowship of the Ring are just as pertinent to J R R Tolkien's own fiction. For decades, hobbits, elves, dwarves, dragons and the other fantastical creatures of Middle-earth have captured the imaginations of a fiercely loyal tribe of readers, all enhanced by the immense success of Peter Jackson's films: first The Lord of the Rings trilogy, and now his new The Hobbit. But for all Tolkien's global fame and the familiarity of modern culture with Gandalf, Bilbo, Frodo and Sam, the sources of the great mythmaker's own mythmaking have been neglected. Mark Atherton here explores the chief influences on The Hobbit: Tolkien's boyhood in the West Midlands; the landscapes and seascapes which shaped his mythologies; his formative experiences in the First World War; his studies in Norse mythology and medieval English literature; his love of language and dialect, and proverb and saying; his literary friendships, especially with C S Lewis and the Oxford-based Inklings; and the relevance of his themes, especially ecological themes, to the present-day. There and Back Again offers a unique guide to the varied inspirations behind Tolkien's life and work, and sheds new light on how a legend is born. Essential reading for all those who love and admire the rich and complex topographies of Middle-earth, the book will also have great appeal to students of literature, history and myth. It is the first to show in depth from where Tolkien drew creativity, and how these myriad resources inspired him to craft the most remarkable fantasy novels ever written, densely packed with fauna from another world.

Gary Channing's transition into middle age has been rather uneventful so far. After twelve good years of marriage to his loving wife Sue and raising two kids, Gary's life has become something of a blur of rinse-and repeat evenings watching the TV. However, Sue has organised for the two of them to spend the weekend in Hope Hall, a so called haunted stately home where even the walls feel like they're watching you. Being fans of the paranormal themselves, Gary and Sue think they've seen everything, but that comfort quickly vanishes as soon as the couple arrives on the grounds. Plagued by visions and waking nightmares, Gary immediately feels at odds with the eerie hallways of Hope Hall, something which only is exacerbated when he finds himself talking to the wealthy architect of the building, Henry. Talking to the owner shouldn't be a problem, but Henry built Hope Hall in 1840, and died thirty years after that. Offering Gary a haunting warning about his fate and purpose at the Hall, the ghost informs him that he'll be visited by even more appariations over the coming months, all who will give him the insight he needs - in one form or another - for the impending battle between good and evil, getting the rest of the family caught up in the mix, Gary's beliefs are brought into question as he falls head first into this fight for the souls of the dead.
