Tolkien quoting Simone de Beauvoir to explain the entire rationale of Lord of the Rings is extraordinary.

Happy 50th anniversary to one of our long-time family favorites! ** For my family, reading Scarry together was itself like a car trip — the rare sort where no one gets cranky and the world, as seen from the back seat, is fresh and startling. Are those mice really driving a car
