Her father, a great elvish lord, in deep opposition to Beren, imposed on him an impossible task that he must perform before he might wed Lt͠hien.

What Tolkien's many admirer's suspect, but have so far been unable to confirm, is that he was as complicated and rewarding in his personal life as he was in his masterful literary fantasies. By turns thoughtful, impish, scholarly, impassioned, playful, vigorous, and gentle, Tolkien was an indefatigable letter writer who poured his heart and mind into a great stream of correspondence to intimate friends and unknown admirers all over the world.

It was not until Christopher Tolkien published The Silmarillion...
