I must say, as rather a large quantity of you must have, I have been drawn to his poems after seeing the film, Tolkien. John Garth, in Tolkien and the Great War (2003) traces plausibly the 'threshold of Middle Earth' in the trenches of the Western front, and this rare little book is a relic of that experience. Rateliff he was credited alongside Tolkien at the latter's request, since they were the only two surviving members of the "Great Four".

All of these were present in the collection and the narration of the poems was done in an excellent evocative manner.
