Helsingin Sanomat (in Finnish). 18 June 1991.Because the three-volume binding was so widely distributed, the work is often referred to as the Lord of the Rings " trilogy". In a letter to the poet W. H. Auden, who famously reviewed the final volume in 1956, [57] Tolkien himself made use of the term "trilogy" for the work [T 14] though he did at other times consider this incorrect, as it was written and conceived as a single book.
