138: From Bilbo's Diary to Tolkien's Masterpiece: The Prologue to Lord of the Rings

We begin our wandering of J.R.R. Tolkien’s masterpiece, the Lord of the Rings. We start with the prologue, Concerning Hobbits, but after only two words, we’ll need to turn around and explore the labyrinthine depths of the first poem printed in the book. Join me, Aaron, your fellow wanderer and host, as we unravel the layers of meaning behind those initial words, "This book," and venture into the heart of Tolkien's literary craftsmanship, where every word holds a hidden tale.
