Perfect a ukulele tutorial for ‘They’re Taking the Hobbits to Isengard’ is hilarious. Who’s ready to strum along and honor Middle-earth in style? #Ukulele #Tolkien #LordOfTheRings #MusicTutorial #UkuleleLessons #Hobbits #DIYMusic #TolkienBirthday #MiddleEarth #FunMusic

Tolkien's World Paintings of Middle Earth A light blue scene of a stream with the fellowship standing near some trees.
A very angry-looking hobbit attacks an immense spider. Now the miserable creature was right under her, for the moment out of the reach of her sting and of her claws. Her vast belly was above him with its putrid light, and the stench of it almost smote him down. Still his fury held for one more blow, and before she could sink upon him, smothering him and all his little impudence of courage, he slashed the bright elven-blade across her with desperate strength... She yielded to the stroke, and then heaved up the great bag of her belly high above Sam’s head. Poison frothed and bubbled from the wound. Now splaying her legs she drove her great bulk down on him again. Too soon. For Sam still stood upon his feet, and dropping his own sword, with both hands he held the elven-blade point upwards, fending off that ghastly roof; and so Shelob, with the driving force of her own cruel will, with strength greater than any warrior’s hand, thrust herself upon a bitter spike. Deep, deep it pricked, as Sam was crushed slowly to the ground.
Happy Tolkien's Birthday! I've been looking at this wonderful book today. It is filled with fantastic art accompanied by text that inspired each piece.
I quite enjoy the look of rage on Sam's face!
Show us your favorite Tolkien-inspired art!

The former Rabbit Room of the Eagle and Child pub iwhere the Inklings met (1930–1950).
The Eagle and Child, nicknamed "the Bird and Baby", is a pub in St Giles', Oxford. It has associations with the Inklings writers' group which included J. R. R. Tolkien and C. S. Lewis. Membership changed over the years. Tolkien drifted away from the meetings in the late 1950s.
