Reviews & Testimonials

“The Literary Supplement to “The Times” will appear as often as may be necessary in order to keep abreast with the more important publications of the day.”

— First issue of Times Literary Supplement 17 January 1902

“The Hobbit...will be funniest to its youngest readers and only years later at a tenth or twentieth reading will they begin to realise what deft scholarship and profound reflection have gone to make everything in it so ripe so friendly and in its own way so true. Prediction is dangerous but The Hobbit may well prove a classic.”

— Quote from the review entitled ‘A World for Children’ about J.R.R. Tolkien’s “The Hobbit” by Clive Staples Lewis, Times Literary Supplement 2 October 1937
