Want to write like an elf, but not learn a language? Welcome to General Use Tengwar, a mode Tolkien developed for using his Elven letters to write English. He used it to write the text on the title page of The Lord of the Rings, Christmas greetings to friends, and even secret messages to his fans. After J. R. R. TolkienÕs passing, many pieces of his essays and notes on his languages and writing systems were published, as well as some of his gorgeous tengwar manuscripts. Today there is more information to draw on than there ever was before. This isnÕt just a book telling you what each symbol stands for; it teaches you to form them correctly and to be able to read what youÕve written. Furthermore, youÕll be learning tengwar not as though it is a code, but like a real-world writing system. The text even describes how to format documents. Whether youÕre putting a powerful Elvish inscription on your magnificent sword or writing secret notes in class, this book will show you the way!
