Very self explanatory, and very well done. He pronounces Tolkien (toll-keen) as Tolkin (toll-kin), which really bugged me, and his voice is nasal.

This is a rare recording of J.R.R. Tolkien from 1952, in which he recites the Quenya poem "Namárië", famously sung by Galadriel in the chapter "Farewell to Lórien" in "The Lord of the Rings". (All the lyrics are on the youtube page of this)

Tolkien reads an excerpt from his book. I believe this recording is from the original LP released after the book.

J.R.R. Tolkien reads from 'The Hobbit: Riddles in the Dark'. Very good for blind people, or people who want to bring awesome memories back.
