| Zusammenfassung: | J.R.R. Tolkien's essay "On Fairy-Stories" is an omnium gatherum of his knowledge of and opinions about fairy-stories, primitive societies, children, tale-telling, the origin of language, King Arthur, Charlemagne's mother, and banana-skins. An odd collection; but perhaps the oddest of all are his subsequent comments on dragons, motor-cars, clouds, railway stations, and rainbows. Here, Flieger examines the analogy of dragons and railway station in Tolkien's essay. |
