Description:
Two Norths and their English blend -- Skin-changing in more than one sense : the complexity of Beorn -- Bridges, gates, and doors -- Iceland and Middle-earth : two who loved the North -- Spiders and evil red eyes : the shadow sides of Gandalf and Galadriel -- Wisewomen, shieldmaidens, nymphs, and goddesses -- Eating, devouring, sacrifice, and ultimate just deserts (why elves are vegetarian and the unrefined are not) -- Three questions by way of conclusion.
