121. Tolkien Gave Up on Fixing The Hobbit : The Hobbit #10

When Tolkien attempted to rewrite the Hobbit in 1960, he just gave up halfway through Chapter 3. In this episode we look at:

• Changes in time and distance
• Changes in Prose and style
• Why he gave up
• His detailed notes on timeline and itinerary that outlined his changes to The Hobbit

In our extended episode (available for our members) we talk about:

• What are the least Lord of the Rings/Middle-earth type events in The Hobbit that Tolkien would likely have changed.

Here are the pics to go along with today’s Hobbit Fact about the Hildebrandt brothers!

• An Unexpected Party
• The Fellowship of the Ring
• The Return of Gandalf
• Éowyn and the Nazgûl
• City of the Nazgûl
• The Healing of Éowyn
• Shannara
• Star Wars
