For all Tolkien fans listen up!

In her new book, The Frodo Franchise: The Lord of the Rings and Modern Hollywood by Kristin Thompson, Tom Shippey, author of The Road to Middle-earth says,

"This is the best all-around view of the Tolkien phenomenon. Thompson understands the books, she understands the movies--she also understands the money and the franchising. Best of all, she understands the people. Thompson offers cultural criticism of the highest order, examining one of the most significant shifts in contemporary popular media."This book examines the production of The Lord of the Rings films, and how she believes the films have affected the film industry. Rings has contributed much in the Fantasy genre as well as video games and various other media, and in this book Thomson examines all of that. University of California Press is the publisher.
