The BBC archives have just released something truly remarkable for any fans of Tolkien: a rare video interview from 1968! In the clip from In Their Own Words, J.R.R. Tolkien talks about everything from nature to his love of beer – and, of course, his books. A treat to start off your Monday, we hope!
Thanks to the Tolkien Professor for posting this! It truly is a great start to a Monday morning, and a great way to begin a long work week!

Oh hooray! I’m excited to watch.
I’ve seen bits and pieces of this video on youtube before, but never the whole thing. So thank you so much for this, great stuff!
Brilliant, thanks for the share.
