It had always mystified me that Tolkien considered himself and Edith as Beren and Luthien. Now it makes far more sense! I suppose the story of Aragorn and Arwen was similarly inspired.

It must have been rather strange to be brought up by a priest. Did Tolkien like annd respect the priest? Precursor of Gandalf if so ???
