| Wasn’t it Tolkien who converted Lewis to Christianity? or brought him back to it or something? They were also part of a writing club called the Inklings, i believe. |

| It was Lewis that helped the Hobbit gain popularity. Lewis wrote many many great reviews of the hobbit. |

what cultures do you think he should have used?
(also, i dont think that J.R.R Tolkein was the first person to use elves or dwarves, but i could be wrong) |

| you can’t tell me that all of tolkien’s ideas were original, thats impossible. I’ve read in a few places that the idea behind LOTR is from a European folk lore called "Ring of the Neibalungs" which was made into a movie last year called "Dark Kingdom: the Dragon King". wiether that it true or not I don’t know, but I watched it, liked it alot. but still, tolkien wasn’t 100% original. |

I never said eh was. He just didn’t like it that Lewis had so many creatures from so many mythologies. instead of a couple. |
