Sacred Texts: Legends and Sagas

And here very interesting and not so familiar reading to anglo-saxon people. Tolkien fan should be familiar to this since Tolkien was...and took some things out of it:

I forwarded those links home and will check them out later. Thanks. I like exploring those mythological roots.

Have you or anyone else read a book called "Tolkien's Ring"? It's an book (I found in a used book store) about the same stuff. (With Illustrations by A. Lee)
