The Voice of Tolkien...

For those who are interested, I have here two links where you can hear J.R.R Tolkien himself narrate part of The Lord of the Rings. These recordings were made in 1952. The first is (part of) a chapter from Book IV, ''Of Herbs & Stewed Rabbit,'' one of my favourites, and the second is Tolkien narrating Galadriel's famous lament Namárië:

Of Herbs & Stewed Rabbit.

Namárië.

Enjoy!
