Contents[edit | edit source]

This book lists various statistics of the Tolkien family, such as most occurring names and locations, at various points in history, accompanied by some general historical background and irrelevant trivia. Many other, more common surnames have also been done (see here), making the relatively rare name "Tolkien" almost dwarfed by the "context" - statistics rarely (if ever) reach double figures.
