He has a huge fan base that spans the world and while he never set foot in the United States, a large chunk of his manuscript collection resides at Marquette University in Milwaukee Wisconsin. Our guest is Dr. Bill Fliss who is the archivist in charge of the Tolkien Collection. We discuss how the collection came to be at Marquette, Tolkien fans, Tolkien exhibits, and an oral history started by Bill. Tune in to this awesome interview to learn more
