"Arda, the world of which Middle-earth is but a part and The Lord Of The
Rings only a chapter, is Tolkien’s Tree, discovered almost by accident as
he was busy painting leaves. The whole marvellous artwork remains as
unfinished as Niggle’s picture, but its details—the leaves—are exquisite, reflecting the near-obsessive priorities of their creator. In investigating one small aspect of the whole, this book is an exercise in leaf-love,
in delighting in the details over which Tolkien niggled."
