The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers : Visual Companion | 
Did you know that whithout Finland's national mythology Kalevala we wouldn't have The Lord of the Rings series? I learned that today. I had known that significant parts of Tolkien's work with LOTR has it's roots on Kalevala but just didn't know how deep it went until today. Apparently Tolkien wanted to write a story about Sampo which is a character in Kalevala and it became The Lord of the Rings.
TheKidUpstairs That's so cool! 1y
julesG I think I heard or read it somewhere, but since it was LOTR I didn't pay much attention. 😬 I'm not a big fan of the trilogy. 1y
