| Jan 6, 2022 at 9:02 | comment | added | OrangeDog | In letter 136 he's referring to the division of six "books", not the division of three volumes. He thought of it as one story in six separate books, which did not naturally go together in three volumes, hence the difficulty in naming the volumes. The quoting of "books" I assume is because they were not published as physically separate books. | |

| Jan 14, 2014 at 2:43 | comment | added | user14111 | Naturally Tolkien wouldn't call LotR a trilogy; he would have been using the word "trilogy" in its traditional sense, not the current fannish sense which seems to be something like "a fantasy epic in three volumes, like The Lord of the Rings." | |
