@DanielGullotta Is it me, or does Jeff Goldblum look like he’s holding a lightsaber? 😂

@DanielGullotta The Demos book looks great! Actually, they all look pretty great!

Happy Tolkien Reading Day!

[The National Archives @UkNatArchives]

To mark #TolkienReadingDay we're excited to share some recently uncovered letters found in our own version of Middle-earth.

Hidden, as the best treasures always are, inside the pages of an archived document, one of our volunteers found these letters written by Tolkien in 1945.

@HerbertHistory You may also want to check out AWOL on the Appalachian Trail. Used it as a resource in prep for a section hike of the AT I did last year with a couple of friends.

[Kristofer Atkinson @KinsonHistory]

@HerbertHistory @DrMaryHicks Enjoyed this episode and I look forward to reading @DrMaryHicks book! However, you are missing out on the greatest historical fiction if you have not read Patrick O’Brian’s books!!!
