Myth and Magic: Art According to the Inklings (Book Review‪)‬

MYTH AND MAGIC: ART ACCORDING TO THE INKLINGS. Eduardo Segura and Thomas Honegger, eds. Cormare Series, No. 14. Zollikofen: Walking Tree Publishers, 2007. ISBN 978-3905703085. Softcover. 352pp. $21.25. WITH MYTH AND MAGIC: ART ACCORDING TO THE INKLINGS, Walking Tree continues its proliferous ascendancy in the world of Tolkien studies. Myth and Magic, the fourteenth publication in their Cormare Series, collects fourteen essays on "[m]yth, magic, art and literary creativity [as] central topics of discussion among the Inklings" (back cover) by an international cast of Tolkien scholars. I have no significant reservations in recommending the collection, but symptomatic of that disease all reviewers share (we call it cacoethes carpendi), I do have some smaller ones, if you will indulge me.
