Robert Gore-Langton on Journey’s End
Sunday 4th August 2013
Quote of the day: “When JRR Tolkein was a young officer in the trenches, the men in his care were mostly Lancashire weavers, amiable, short and very fond of their rations. He later turned them into Hobbits. Sherriff on the other hand kept his characters fully human, eating, drinking, doing their duty and thinking endlessly of home as they faced danger.” (Robert Gore-Langton’s Journey’s End)
