John Ronald Reuel Tolkien never set out to become a pop icon. But almost 30 years after his death, he has ascended to heights previously reserved for pop stars. For hundreds of thousands, his vivid description of the enchanted land of Middle Earth-and the band of Hobbits, heroes and wizards who set out to save it-have evolved into more than just a fairy tale. Travel to Tolkien's hometown in England. Experience Dagorhir, where participants enact Dark Age battles. Watch Bob Catley perform music from his album "Middle Earth." Get a rare glimpse into the unique work of Roger Garland as he creates images reflecting the world of fantasy.
