One of Tolkien's Valar (Powers of Arda) is Estë the Gentle, the Vala of Sleep. She loves a tree-shadowed lake called Lórellin (Dream Pool). Estë heals hurt and weariness, and her name in Quenya means "rest".

There are many interesting stories behind translating Tolkien's works. One of such stories that I read for the first time was the translation of The Hobbit into Hawaiian:

"Ka Hopita: a i 'ole, I Laila a Ho'i Hou mai" (The Hobbit: or There and Back Again).

The artwork used for the cover is Tolkien's painting called "The Land of Pohja", the name of a location in Kalevala. This is one of Tolkien's experiments with symbolic, abstract, and imaginative scenes inspired by "strange visions", which he did in around 1911.

Cat-related characters in Tolkien legendarium (Tevildo, the early version of Sauron & Queen Beruthiel of Gondor) are described in unsavory manner. Even Tolkien's letter for his fan jokingly described cats as fauna of Mordor, but I think they're cool.

The evolution of orc design is fascinating. They go from Tolkien's small goblins to D&D's giant brutes, then Warhammer gives them green skin and tusks and once WoW copies it, that becomes the default and the paradigm doesn't shift again till the modern day.

JRR Tolkien's own illustrations for The Hobbit..

"My armour is like tenfold shields, my teeth are swords, my claws spears, the shock of my tail is a thunderbolt, my wings a hurricane, and my breath death!"

The similarities between Tolkien's fictional Middle Earth races and ancient ones such as Celts are too obvious to ignore.

Hobbit Shires bear a strong resemblance to early Celtic settlements.

Trees were said & feared to be magic as their life outlasts ours. Similarly literary/cinematic trees' role is polarized: ethearal or deadly.
From C.S Lewis' wooden portal to Narnia & Tolkien's wise Treebeard to Burton's Tree of the Dead which is Gateway to Hell.

Although there are all too few female characters in Tolkien's 'The Lord of the Rings', Éowyn plays a pivotal role by deceiving, outwitting & slaying the Witch-King of Angmar; contributing to the demise of Sauron.

JRR Tolkien's 'Lord of the Rings' inspires artists. Sample 18 artworks, several downloadable - as an aside, my son so loved this book from 10yr that he collected multiple editions to loan to friends, one copy never loaned to preserve the spine ... https://t.co/V4iKzmsjbg
