Ronald and Edith
The Fairy Story Society
LOCATION: Salt Lake City, Utah
SYNOPSIS: “Faerie is a perilous land, and in it are pitfalls for the unwary and dungeons for the overbold.” -J.R.R. Tolkien
In 1917, in Roos, Yorkshire, John Ronald Reuel Tolkien watched his wife, Edith, dance in a glade. The sight inspired Tolkien, barely returned from World War I, to write his cornerstone story Beren and Luthien. Ronald and Edith tells a (slightly) altered version of the facts of that fateful day. Join Tolkien and his wife, Edith, as they navigate war and love, elves and demons through storytelling. Come with us to Faerie... if you dare.
