The Road Goes Ever On

Om boken

Available for the first time in 25 years, this book of songs and sheet music is a collaboration between J. R. R. Tolkien and composer Donald Swann. The composer gives Tolkien characters—Bilbo, Treebeard, Sam Gamgee, and Tom Bombadil—tunes for their ballads of the road. Professor Tolkien approved of this work and added a tune of his own, decorated the book in his own hand, and added a glossary of Elvish terms and lore that appears nowhere else. Includes a bonus CD containing performances of all the songs.
