Fan Phenomena: The Lord of the Rings

Few, if any, books come close to being as beloved - or as ubiquitous -as The Lord of the Rings trilogy. The book delves into the philosophy ofthe series and its fans, the distinctions between the films' fans and thebooks' fans, the process of adaptation, and the role of New Zealand inthe translation of words to images. Lavishly illustrated, it is guaranteedto appeal to anyone who has ever closed the last page ofThe Return ofthe Kingand wished it to never end.
