interesting detail about Fantasy genre in general. What he might have said to Game of thrones and about his colleague George R.R. Martin ?

@HeyLaiverd
I don´t want to spoil any Kdrama that is on somebody's list to watch : Alchemy Of Souls. Kdrama-writers The Hong Sisters have a deep understanding of mythology, legends and folktales. I will not explain here with my basic knowledge why I am saying this. But can fully understand Tolkien's view.
It is the view that impressed me 63 years ago, and is still valid.

I’m surprised that he read it.

I’m right there with you J.R.R.
