The book offers excerpts from fourteen medieval literary works in Old English, Middle English and Old Norse together with a study of thematic parallels in J. R. R. Tolkien's fiction. A review in the journal Studies in the Novel found it well-suited for "academics, students, general readers, and Tolkien fans," while the reviewer for Strange Horizons concluded that "for those wanting to explore it the wider field, this is more a companion than a guide."[7][8]
