Evlampia Tsireli in this study, not only accurately describes the importance of trees in the life and work of J.R.R. Tolkien, but also opens up a completely new field of research and discovery of new aspects of his work, connecting her rich research field of ancient mythologies - European and Mesopotamian - but also the biblical, both of which were familiar and dear to the professor. Her book transports the reader to a world of symbols, images, myths, motifs and archetypes, deeply rooted in human thought and imagination. The tree, as she discovers and reveals to the readers, has an absolutely vital role in this charming mosaic.'
