A new book has just been released by Walking Tree Publishers: Tolkien's Shorter Works. It has a chapter on this topic; even the title is identical to that of this thread, though it's not a plagiarism - the author has my permission!
 I heard most of the papers it contains as lectures at last year's Tolkien Seminar here in Germany, and they are well worth reading - highly recommended!

Well, authorial permission or not, I canna get that link or any other links to the book to work.
 Kudos to that author who's interested in the autobiographical Tolkien though. It requires courage, persistence, patience, talent, to get something into real print as opposed to internet print. Well done!

I'm sure you will - plus the opportunity to hear the contents of next year's publication. Walking Tree co-sponsers the seminar and always brings lots of interesting books along.
