But on 15 February 1896, when Ronald Tolkien was only 4 years old, his father died, and Ronald, his younger brother Hilary, and Mabel returned to England, to the West Midlands, the place that her family had lived for generations.

When it comes to "vilification" of Tolkien Enterprises, no one we're aware of in the vast community feels that Tolkien Enterprises has been considerate of authors and artists in any way.
However, the Tolkien Estate is another matter and we in the community treat them with far more respect and consideration.
To be frank, if you are really so short sighted and ignorant so as to be in support of Tolkien Enterprises' acts of intellectual and "legal" terrorism, subjugation, and repression, we are more than happy to not have you as part of the Middle-earth role playing international community.

But given the vast popularity of the Tolkien novels and movies, Anita Frazier, entertainment industry analyst at NPD Group, said Turbine may have a major hit this time.

After years of being hassled by Tolkien buffs for its errors and dumb ideas, ICE decided to get authentic, and eventually hired Seeman as editor.
Tolkien Enterprises revoked ICE's license in September of 1999, the same month that the computer game publisher Sierra On-Line fired a development team that had been slaving away on a multiplayer Middle-earth game designed to go head-to-head with EverQuest and Ultima Online.
Like Tolkien, Seeman, who is finishing up his doctorate in Near Eastern religions at UC Berkeley, tries not to follow an explicit plan.

 My Tolkien Page   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
This magic of Middle-Earth involves a tale that ranges from emotional highs to the deepest depressions--the joy and peace found in the House of Tom Bombadil, where Frodo is able, for the moment, to lay aside the Quest, and the darkest moments at the Tower of Cirith Ungol, where Master Samwise must make his choices.
It is this epic struggle between good and evil that has enchanted a generation of readers who have demonstrated their love of Tolkien's works by reading the novels over and over again.
For, as those of us who have read the novels many times know, the attraction of Middle-Earth and its characters is the new realizations that we as readers and fellow humans locked in struggle against our own forces of evil draw from the victory of Gondor out of the very Shadow of defeat.
