FOREWORD
This tale grew in the telling, until it became a history of the Great War of the Ring and included
many glimpses of the yet more ancient history that preceded it. It was begun soon after _The
Hobbit_ was written and before its publication in 1937; but I did not go on with this sequel, for I
wished first to complete and set in order the mythology and legends of the Elder Days, which had
then been taking shape for some years. I desired to do this for my own satisfaction, and I had little
hope that other people would be interested in this work, especially since it was primarily linguistic
in inspiration and was begun in order to provide the necessary background of 'history' for Elvish
tongues.
When those whose advice and opinion I sought corrected _little hope_ to _no hope,_ I went
back to the sequel, encouraged by requests from readers for more information concerning hobbits
and their adventures. But the story was drawn irresistibly towards the older world, and became an
account, as it were, of its end and passing away before its beginning and middle had been told. The
process had begun in the writing of _The Hobbit,_ in which there were already some references to
the older matter: Elrond, Gondolin, the High-elves, and the orcs, as well as glimpses that had arisen
unbidden of things higher or deeper or darker than its surface: Durin, Moria, Gandalf, the
Necromancer, the Ring. The discovery of the significance of these glimpses and of their relation to
the ancient histories revealed the Third Age and its culmination in the War of the Ring.
Those who had asked for more information about hobbits eventually got it, but they had to wait
a long time; for the composition of _The Lord of the Rings_ went on at intervals during the years
1936 to 1949, a period in which I had many duties that I did not neglect, and many other interests
as a learner and teacher that often absorbed me. The delay was, of course, also increased by the
outbreak of war in 1939, by the end of which year the tale had not yet reached the end of Book
One. In spite of the darkness of the next five years I found that the story could not now be wholly
abandoned, and I plodded on, mostly by night, till I stood by Balin's tomb in Moria. There I halted
for a long while. It was almost a year later when I went on and so came to Lothlórien and the Great
River late in 1941. In the next year I wrote the first drafts of the matter that now stands as Book
Three, and the beginnings of chapters I and III of Book Five; and there as the beacons flared in
Anórien and Théoden came to Harrowdale I stopped. Foresight had failed and there was no time for
thought.
It was during 1944 that, leaving the loose ends and perplexities of a war which it was my task to
conduct, or at least to report, 1 forced myself to tackle the journey of Frodo to Mordor. These
chapters, eventually to become Book Four, were written and sent out as a serial to my son,
Christopher, then in South Africa with the RAF. Nonetheless it took another five years before the
tale was brought to its present end; in that time I changed my house, my chair, and my college, and
the days though less dark were no less laborious. Then when the 'end' had at last been reached the
whole story had to be revised, and indeed largely re-written backwards. And it had to be typed, and
re-typed: by me; the cost of professional typing by the ten-fingered was beyond my means.
_The Lord of the Rings_ has been read by many people since it finally appeared in print; and I
should like to say something here with reference to the many opinions or guesses that I have
received or have read concerning the motives and meaning of the tale. The prime motive was the
desire of a tale-teller to try his hand at a really long story that would hold the attention of readers,
amuse them, delight them, and at times maybe excite them or deeply move them. As a guide I had
only my own feelings for what is appealing or moving, and for many the guide was inevitably often
at fault. Some who have read the book, or at any rate have reviewed it, have found it boring,
absurd, or contemptible; and I have no cause to complain, since I have similar opinions of their
works, or of the kinds of writing that they evidently prefer. But even from the points of view of
many who have enjoyed my story there is much that fails to please. It is perhaps not possible in a
long tale to please everybody at all points, nor to displease everybody at the same points; for I find
from the letters that I have received that the passages or chapters that are to some a blemish are all
by others specially approved. The most critical reader of all, myself, now finds many defects, minor
and major, but being fortunately under no obligation either to review the book or to write it again,
he will pass over these in silence, except one that has been noted by others: the book is too short.
As for any inner meaning or 'message', it has in the intention of the author none. It is neither
allegorical nor topical. As the story grew it put down roots (into the past) and threw out unexpected
branches: but its main theme was settled from the outset by the inevitable choice of the Ring as the
link between it and _The Hobbit._ The crucial chapter, "The Shadow of the Past', is one of the
oldest parts of the tale. It was written long before the foreshadow of 1939 had yet become a threat
of inevitable disaster, and from that point the story would have developed along essentially the
