As found in the Times Online, has gone on sale in Britain a new book on the work of JRR Tolkien and the Inklings:

# The Company They Keep: CS Lewis and JRR Tolkien as writers in community, written by Diana Pavlac Glyer.

As we read in the article, "There is magic in the last line of The Lord of the Rings. Recalling: the brave impassively Sam Gamgee, having seen his friend Frodo Baggins departed from the Grey Havens to some form of death, returns to the Shire where he finds his
wife and children waiting with the promise of a quiet life away from the slaughter of the War of the Ring. JRR Tolkien ends with the phrase: "Well, I'm back - he said." It is an emotional yet understated conclusion returns us to the prose of home simplicity of the early chapters, after the archaic epic form of Return of the King.

However, as Diana says Pavlac Glyer in his erudite and perceptive study, "The Company They Keep" (the company that maintained), this was not the ending that JRR Tolkien had originally intended for his trilogy (sic). He had in mind an epilogue (which you can read here), located sixteen years after the events of the rest of the book, which could be provided with another redundant view of domestic life Gamgee Family. In this version, which was eventually abandoned, a gray-haired Sam reads the stories of their adventures to their children, interwoven with stories of wizards and orcs and walking trees. There is even the suggestion that Sam has been narrating the story of The Lord of the Rings as is, before finally leave the Shire for good, leaving Sam and Rose in a total state of marital bliss, narrating their stories together with fire.

Making it impossible to publish this final Tolkien was his membership of the Inklings - the renowned circle of writers and academics from Oxford who met for 17 years and had members as CS Lewis, Charles Williams and ER Edison, author of The Serpent Ouroboros , among others. It was they who advised the excessive sentimentality of the scene, saying it added nothing of substance to a narrative that had already far exceeded the "Continuation of The Hobbit," which had asked the publishers (to JRR Tolkien). Glyer suggests that this incident is a good example of how the Inklings affected the work of others, despite the fact that, in later years, its members often insist that their meetings acted more like a social club than a writers' club, leaving aside any suggestion that it was influential.
