Publisher's Synopsis

In 1914, JRR Tolkien, his life in crisis, visited his Aunt Jane's Phoenix Farm in Gedling near Nottingham. The poem he wrote there, "The Voyage of Earendel the Evening Star", was the spark that ignited the whole of his later mythology. Focussing on this single event, this work sets out to discover more about Phoenix Farm, Jane Neave and the poem.
