The Tolkien; Donald Swann Archive

An extraordinary archive of manuscripts and letters relating to the songs and poems Tolkien wrote for Lord of the Rings and the collaboration with Donald Swann which led to the publication of The Road Goes Ever On.

Substantial Tolkien manuscript material is almost unknown in commerce, the vast majority being held institutionally. This manuscript is the only one for one of Tolkien’s major books to remain in private hands. With its supplementary cycle of correspondence, it is unquestionably the most important archive of Tolkien material to be offered for sale in more than a generation.
