Tolkien is based af

Not sure what Norik's sperg was talking about exactly.

🤷‍♂️

All his works are about virtue and sacrificing oneself for God and country

Personally I love TLotR books and the extended movies

For sure

Doing the good even when faced with incentives not to

Protecting one’s people and way of life

Respect for monarchy and the natural order

This is what it looks like to cultivate a conservative culture

Okay, I get it. I can see those themes as being NRX I suppose.

Narnia > LoTR btw

Agreed as well, Narnia is a little more on the nose

I was thinking about doing a children book series with animals too

Cautionary tale about sneaky Kangaroo

All the animal learning lessons from the hijinks of these naughty sneaky little Roos

I’ve never read any of the Narnia books but I do remember the movie resonating with me as a kid

In one story the Roo was crying out in pain as it tries to drown a Dingo

Definitely wish my Mother made me read those instead of Harry Potter

Nah i think stories like King Arthur are a great representation for little kids.

Also what makes little kids read harry potter?.

Don't understand that reasoning.

For me it was peer pressure

Every kid I knew read them and so did all my siblings

Mhm, same here.

I figured they must be good

Its ridiculous, Not only that i see that alot of LGBTQ fans love the books for some reason.

Makes one think...............

@Canadian Man I found one illustrated King Aurther book that looked pretty good for older children. Do you know any good Knights of the Round Table book series for little ones? I've been researching this recently.

Yes, They are quite interesting reads.
