[QUOTE="Cadence, post: 9043589, member: 6701124"] Was trying to find the quote about copying, and didn't yet, but did run across a variety of (I thought) tangential things that were interesting... First quote makes me wonder how much of Sword being (to some/many very like) Tolkien was Brooks and how much was Brooks polishing as ordered by Lester del Rey: [URL unfurl="true"]http://www.randomhouse.com/features/brooks/author/interview.html[/URL] Interview with Terry Brooks, with a lot about Lester del Rey [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.lightspeedmagazine.com/nonfiction/interview-terry-brooks/[/URL] Some notes on "The Sword of Shannara" and "The Lord of the Rings".
