The Letters of J.R.R. Tolkien

Tolkien's correspondence spans decades and covers many topics. I'm curious how the editors chose which letters to feature and what was left out.

His letters reveal so much about his struggles, humor, and passions. It made me wonder how much of the man behind the stories is visible here.

His thoughtful replies show a genuine care for his readers and his craft. Did this affect how he approached his own writing process?
