One of the first Tolkien-related fanzines published. It was published first by the New York Tolkien Society and then the Tolkien Society of America. There were 15 issues (8.5" x 11") between Spring 1965 and Summer 1972 when it merged with Mythlore.
Ian Ballantine was an early supporter, paying for the first two issues to be mimeoed and for the mailing list to be put on Addressograph stencils.
