Second time I've read this. Beautiful hardbound 50th anniversary edition with maps, etc., gift from Paul Jr. and Nedda.
Such a pleasure even if quite familiar with the story. Tolkien skill well-known and for good reason.
I had forgotten much of the detail of the final chapter so particularly enjoyed rereading that section.
All the sequences are quite wonderful but I think I best like the Shire scenes that begin and end the work. Tolkien has a great touch with those small-scale interactions.
