Ooh! Fun thread.
Fairy tales definitely paved the way for my LOTR experience.
Actually I watched the Hobbit and ROTK cartoons when I was little but I never made the connection. So when I picked up the books I was constantly saying, "Oh my gosh! This is the same as those movies!!!"
B/c of that the movies are still close to my heart even though they are NOT how I imagine Tolkien's wonderful world to be.
Now someone is going to thwack me over the head for bringing up the cartoons. haha. Oh well
