Hi to everyone. My name is Jon and my claim to fame is that my mother went to St Anne's at Oxford in 1948 where she had JRR Tolkien as her personal tutor and went to lectures by CS Lewis...
I have been going through some family bits and pieces and found a couple of books I would like to know about - Humphrey Carpenter sent my mother a first edition of his book on Tolkien which he signed and sent a letter to my mother thanking her for the contributions she made. I also have a first edition (unsigned) of the Silmarillion..
I'll be keeping them for the family, but I wondered if either of these are worth anything...?
