Those of you with fond memories of our #Tolkien exhibition 'Tolkien Maker of Middle-earth' or who weren't able to make it may enjoy this video tour of the exhibition highlights: youtube.com/watch?v=NysI02G9…
Tolkien: Maker of Middle-earth was a truly brilliant exhibition that I visited twice at @bodleianlibs in 2018. There are too many favorites to list, but I particularly enjoyed seeing Pauline Baynes’s iconic poster-map of Middle-earth, a collaboration between Baynes and Tolkien.

Geoffrey Julier grew up in Hackney during the Blitz, watching dogfights from the garden and seeing a Luftwaffe pilot parachute onto the Marshes.
This photo shows his street - Mayola Road, Hackney - celebrating VE Day in 1945.
