Silmaril

I read that book, and it did begin to answer some questions for me. But doesn't seem that, to get the whole story (not that THAT's something we can ever plan on really knowing), we ought to read more than one? Different biographies probably focus on different things, and the juxtaposition of them could probably tell us a lot. (So now I feel like I need to read another one...ah, the endlessly streching line of books ahead of me......)

.....I myself actually find that what's really useful is to read "On Fairy-Tales".
