- Summary
- "Anyone who has read "The Hobbit" and "The Lord of the Rings" can gather that their author hated tyranny, but few know that the novelist who once described himself as a hobbit "in all but size" was- even by hobbit standards- a zealous proponent of economic freedom and small government. At a time when many are concerned that the West is sliding into political, economic, and moral bankruptcy, Jonathan Witt and Jay W. Richards show us how J.R.R. Tolkien has, in his beloved novels of Middle-Earth, drawn us a map to freedom."--jacket
