Review The Silmarillion / Bantam USA:Although The Silmarillion takes place in the same imaginary world as J. J. R Tolkien's The Lord of the Rings, and was originally published four years after the author's death and over two decades after the former book, it is set much earlier, in the First Age of the World. The tales and the book which reads as a fusion between a story collection and historical chronicle, are a matter of legend even to the characters of The Lord of the Rings: In the beginning Eru, the One, who in the Elvish tongue is named Ilúvatar, made the Ainur of his thought; and they made a great Music before himTolkien wrote the heart of this material very early in his career, and continued to work on it throughout his life. It fell to his son, Christopher Tolkien, to edit it into book form, and such proved the unquenchable public appetite that he subsequently oversaw 12 volumes of The History of Middle-Earth. This edition features 20 highly evocative colour plates by Ted Nasmith, themselves worth the price of admission, while reinforcing the sense of a historical work are genealogical tables, an extensive index, appendix and colour map. Far removed from the genial style of The Hobbit, this is Tolkien at his most formal, his prose austere, poetically beautiful, his storytelling capturing the epic scale, high drama and melancholy wonder of myth. These stories of elves and heroes and old gods are quite literally the foundation of the entire modern fantasy-publishing revival, and are therefore essential reading. -Gary S. Dalkin JRR Tolkien is best known for The Hobbit and The Lord Of The Rings but those who thought these two wonderful adventures marked the height of his imagination have many more delights to come. [+]The Silmarillion represents the source of Tolkien's later work and follows the events of the First Age of Middle Earth. For information, The Lord Of The Rings concerns the end of the Third Age. The Silmarillion is a gloriously realised story of rebellion, exile, war and the heroism of elves and men. But to gain an insight into the staggering complexity of Tolkien's world, however, the shorter works also included are must-reads. Dealing with the myth of creation, the nature of the Gods, the fall of Númenor and the Rings of Power, they paint a vivid picture not only of Middle Earth but also of the author's soaring imagination. Tolkien was born of English parents in Bloemfontein, South Africa, in 1892 and died in England in 1973. He worked on The Silmarillion from as early as 1917 but the work was not published until after his death. This edition, richly illustrated by Ted Nasmith, is both collector's item and source of reference and fascination for every follower of Tolkien. -James Barclay.

Review Glubbslyme (BBC Audio) / BBC Audiobooks Ltd:Sandi Toksvig reads Jacqueline Wilson's Glubbslyme in this unabridged two-cassette audio book. Glubbslyme, by the award-winning author of many bestselling titles (including Double Act and The Suitcase Kid), is a light-hearted story of friendship and magic that is guaranteed to delight all imaginative 7-11 year olds. Rebecca's been rejected by her girlfriends, so when a 300-year-old magical toad offers to become her best friend things take a turn for the better. Instead of lipstick and little ponies Sarah becomes absorbed by learning to fly and casting spells on her horrid neighbour and beastly girlfriend. It all sounds great fun but having magical powers brings serious responsibilities when Glubbslyme encourages her to be as bad as her 17th century namesake, the wicked witch Rebecca Cockgoldde. Wilson's skilful portrayal of the growing friendship between the bad-tempered, pedantic and vain toad and the imaginative, lonely young girl is funny, wise and reassuring. Running time is two hours and 45 minutes. -Tamsin Palmer Glubbslyme, by the award-winning author of many bestselling titles, (including Double Act and The Suitcase Kid) is a light-hearted story of friendship and magic guaranteed to delight all imaginative 7-11 year olds.
