There is a veritable treasure
trove of information about Tolkien accessible by the Internet. Unlike Smaug,
I’ll be sharing these below. I aim to keeping adding to the resource, so keep
checking back when you can.
I hope to add links to fan art and other creative work soon.
Please let me know if you find any dead links or places you would like to suggest for inclusion here. You can contact me on my Twitter account (or in the comments below).
