On the shoulders of hobbits

In 'On the Shoulders of Hobbits', Louis Markos delves into the works of Tolkien and Lewis to uncover the virtues embedded in their stories.

The book is divided into sections on the road, classical virtues, theological virtues, and evil, providing a thoughtful exploration of how these authors' faith influenced their writing.

Markos uses examples from 'The Lord of the Rings' and 'The Chronicles of Narnia' to illustrate these virtues, making the book accessible to both academic and general readers.
