About the Author

Robert Tuesley Anderson is a writer, poet and editor living in the Southern Uplands of Scotland. Like many, he first fell in love with Tolkien's books as a child and even went so far as to struggle with the arcane details of Quenya grammar. This book has given him the opportunity to bring together two lifelong enthusiasms - good, home-cooked food and high-fantasy writing.
