Episode 73: Lesser-trod Histories 6 - The Lays of Beleriand
Episode Summary
This month, Jude and Stef take a dive into The History of Middle-earth Volume 3: The Lays of Beleriand. Jude proudly and pleasingly presents “Fragment of an alliterative Lay of Eärendel” and Stef does her best with the Cantos of “The Lay of Leithian.” Join us for painfully peaking microphones, comely Cantos, and resplendent rhymes.
