Hammond, Chapin Librarian at Williams College, Williamstown, Massachusetts, and Christina Scull, former Librarian of Sir John Soane’s Museum, London, as they examine how Tolkien’s writings and art influenced each other, and how other artists have interpreted Tolkien’s works, especially his favorite illustrator, Pauline Baynes.
