The most slavish Tolkien ripoff I've yet seen, right down to the specifics: the hobbits (the three English children magically transported to the world called Vandarei) including Frodo (the messianic oldest brother Oliver), Sauron (Fendarl), the Rohirrim (the Khentors), the Numenoreans (the Harani), even Tom Bombadil (the Borderer) and Gwaihir the Windlord (the eagle King Merekarl). Unlike Kurtz, she was far from prolific, producing just two more novels, both set in the same milieu: 1977's The Grey Mane Of Morning, and 1983's When Voiha Wakes.Īll of these novels were critically acclaimed, so it's a shame that she didn't produce more. Chant (real name Eileen Joyce Rutter) was one of the first authors to jump on the Tolkien bandwagon, and, like Katherine Kurtz, was first published in the Ballantine Adult Fantasy series when Lin Carter picked up on one of her manuscripts.
