Tolkien Centenary Conference 1992, The Tolkien Society, The Mythopoeic Society

Mythcon Souvenirs

Welcome to the Long-expected Party! I can hardly believe that almost six years have passed since the meeting that began the planning of this great occasion. I do not think that any of us who gathered that day in the Turf Tavern after Oxonmoot 1986 foresaw how our originally quite modest plans would grow and develop, or how much work the organization of the Conference would involve.

Editorial, Tina Cooper, Christine Lowentrout

The Mythic Circle

Welcome to The Mythic Circle #12. We apologize for the lateness of this issue. Tina’s triplets (!), bom in March, slowed her down considerably over the past few months.
