Ælfwine's Road
Description
My channel mainly provides chapter-by-chapter summary videos for readers who are fairly new to the books "The Silmarillion" and "Unfinished Tales" by J.R.R. Tolkien.
In some of his early writings, Tolkien wrote that an Anglo-Saxon mariner named Ælfwine (lit. elf-friend) managed to sail all the way to the Lonely Isle. And it's there that he met the Elves and learned from them all about the history of Arda. Then he brought the tales back to his home (early medieval England) and shared them with his countrymen. Ælfwine took the Straight Road to reach the Elves, thus, I hope my channel can resemble that path and bring you closer to the magic and lore of the writings of J.R.R. Tolkien.
