[[File:Eight books from Tolkien's library.jpg|thumb|Photograph of books from Tolkien's library]]
This page is a '''list of books in Tolkien's library''', that is, books and other publications known to have been owned by [[J.R.R. Tolkien]].

After Tolkien’s death in 1973, his library passed to his son and literary executor, [[Christopher Tolkien]]. Before moving to France in 1975, Christopher donated some books to Oxford libraries, and others were weeded out and entered the used book market.

A local bookseller bought a large quantity of the books and put stickers with ‘‘From the Library of J.R.R. Tolkien.’’, on many of the unsigned volumes in order to preserve their provenance before selling them off.

Around three hundred volumes were donated to the English Faculty Library and forty-five, were also deposited in the Bodleian Library with Tolkien’s papers.<ref>[[Douglas A. Anderson]], "Library, Personal", in ''[[J.R.R. Tolkien Encyclopedia: Scholarship and Critical Assessment]]'' (pp. 361-2)</ref>

Wisconsin Ring Game

2025-07-01T14:03:48Z

Mythago: /* Origin */

'''Wisconsin Ring Game''' is a semiannual live action role-playing game hosted twice a year at [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Governor_Dodge_State_Park Governor Dodge State Park] in southern Wisconsin. First played on [[11 June|11 June]] [[1977]], the game was revived in the fall of 1987 and re-enacts the events of the [[War of the Ring]]. The game has continued to this day after a short break due to the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/COVID-19_pandemic global pandemic].
==Game Play==
Players are divided into three teams taking on the roles of characters in the story with the following win objectives:

*The forces of Good led by [[Gandalf]] need to take the [[The One Ring|Ring]] to [[Mount Doom]] in the center of the park to destroy it.
*The forces of Evil led by [[Sauron]] need to capture the Ring and return it to Sauron.
*The forces of the White Hand led by [[Saruman]] need to capture the Ring and claim it at Mount Doom.

In addition teams can also attempt to take citadels such as [[Lothlórien]], [[Gondor]], [[Isengard]] and [[Barad-dûr]] for points with the forces of evil winning by default if all good citadels are captured before the Ring is destroyed. Evil also wins if Saruman claims the Ring for himself at Mount Doom. Certain citadels and objectives are time gated such as Gondor and Mount Doom to help control the pacing of the game.
==Origin==
Wisconsin Ring Game was conceived by Jeff McKinnon and members of the [https://lafollette.madison.k12.wi.us/ Robert M. La Follette High School] Chess & Strategy Club when they decided test out the roleplaying guide [https://www.nobleknight.com/P/2147484002/Rules-for-the-Live-Ring-Game ''Rules for the Live Ring Game''] by [[Wendell Lariston Hill, Jr.|Wendell Lariston Hill Jr.]] published in 1973.

Mythago:

'''Wisconsin Ring Game''' is a semiannual live action role-playing game hosted twice a year at [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Governor_Dodge_State_Park Governor Dodge State Park] in southern Wisconsin. First played on [[11 June|11 June]] [[1977]], the game was revived in the fall of 1987 and re-enacts the events of the [[War of the Ring]]. The game has continued to this day after a short break due to the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/COVID-19_pandemic global pandemic].
==Game Play==
Players are divided into three teams taking on the roles of characters in the story with the following win objectives:

*The forces of Good led by [[Gandalf]] needs to take the [[The One Ring|Ring]] to [[Mount Doom]] in the center of the park to destroy it.
*The forces of Evil led by [[Sauron]] needs to capture the Ring and return it to Sauron.
*The forces of the White Hand led by [[Saruman]] needs to capture the Ring and claim it at Mount Doom.

In addition teams can also attempt to take citadels such as [[Lothlórien]], [[Gondor]], [[Isengard]] and [[Barad-dûr]] for points with the forces of evil winning by default if all good citadels are captured before the Ring is destroyed. Evil also wins if Saruman claims the Ring for himself at Mount Doom. Certain citadels and objectives are time gated such as Gondor and Mount Doom to help control the pacing of the game.
==Origin==
Wisconsin Ring Game was conceived by Jeff McKinnon and members of the [https://lafollette.madison.k12.wi.us/ Robert M. La Follette High] School Chess & Strategy Club when they decided test out the roleplaying guide [https://www.nobleknight.com/P/2147484002/Rules-for-the-Live-Ring-Game ''Rules for the Live Ring Game''] by [[Wendell Lariston Hill, Jr.|Wendell Lariston Hill Jr.]] published in 1973.

}}{{letterExtended|241b}}
==Summary==
Tolkien responds to [[Rayner Unwin]]'s admission of involvement in the creation of a [[wikipedia:Festschrift|Festschrift]] in his honour. Tolkien humorously refers to the endeavour as a "gunpowder plot" uncovered almost on the anniversary of the historical [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gunpowder%20Plot Gunpowder Plot]. Despite his usual vigilance, Tolkien was unaware of the plan, which aimed to "blow him up" with praise rather than harm.

The revelation that he was to be honoured came as a pleasant shock to him. He expresses his delight and gratitude that the project was taken on by [[Allen & Unwin]], calling it a magnanimous act.

==Summary==
In a letter to his son [[Christopher Tolkien|Christopher]], Tolkien discusses his busy schedule, which includes organizing an R.N.-R.A.F. course for about 40 cadets and attending a [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Passing%20out%20(military) Passing Out] Parade.
