beautiful in autumn

In 2012, Lisa Kuppler (Frankfurter Allgemeine Sonntagszeitung) paid tribute to the writer J.R.R. TOLKIEN (1892 to 1973), who invented a fictional world called Middle Earth inhabited by 'hobbits', with the words: "It is this complex creation of an entire world that makes 'The Lord of the Rings' the original text of the fantasy genre." Two decades earlier - on the occasion of his 100th birthday - a bench and two trees were dedicated to him here, in Oxford's university park. Tolkien's most popular work to date includes the volumes: "The Fellowship of the Ring" (Volume 1); "The Two Towers" (Volume 2); "The Return of the King" (Volume 3). Many people may not have read his books, but they know the film version of this great myth.

Until 1991, Parson's Pleasure was a secluded area for male-only nude bathing, where the old dons would frollick with the young students.

In 1992, to commemorate the centenary of Tolkien’s birth, the Tolkien Society and the Mythopoeic Society organised held a special collection for the installation of a memorial bench and planting of two trees in University Parks. The trees represent Laurelin (a false acacia) and Telperion (a silver maple) from The Silmarillion.

Oxford is an enchanted place, where at any moment it feels like you could walk through the wardrobe and find yourself in another world where a faun is waiting for you under a lamp post in a land where it is always winter and never Christmas...
