However, there are some rather critical differences. The following outlines these. Ancient Times In the centuries B.C.E. (Before Common Era), the Celtic peoples populated much of Europe. Although the ancient Celts varied in description, they had a reasonably similar culture. The religion of the Celts in particular helped to unify tradition. The ancient druidic faith held the sum of all the Celt people’s knowledge and laws. The ancient druids generally maintained a neutrality in politics and gained impartiality in as judges of important social matters among the Celtic peoples. It has been said that a druid could stop a battle between warring tribes in these ancient times simply by walking between the armies. None challenged the authority and power of the druids. Coming of the Romans Boudicea, A Bard’s Tale The Romans line every hill, The conquests of Julius Ceasar targeted the druids as the nerve center and unifying force of Spears bright and deadly still, Blood red with silver shields, the Gallic Celts. -

Summer's Crossing
Summer’s Crossing The Iron Fey Julie Kagawa A Midsummer's Nightmare? Robin Goodfellow. Puck. Summer Court prankster, King Oberon's right hand, bane of many a faery queen's existence—and secret friend to Prince Ash of the Winter Court. Until one girl's death came between them, and another girl stole both their hearts. Now Ash has granted one favor too many and someone's come to collect, forcing the prince to a place he cannot go without Puck's help—into the heart of the Summer Court. And Puck faces the ultimate choice—betray Ash and possibly win the girl they both love, or help his former friend turned bitter enemy pull off a deception that no true faery prankster could possibly resist. An ebook exclusive novella from Julie Kagawa's Iron Fey series. Chapter One And as I am an Honest Puck Names. What’s in a name, really? I mean, besides a bunch of letters or sounds strung together to make a word. Does a rose by any other name really smell as sweet? Would the most famous love story in the world be as poignant if it was called Romeo and Gertrude? Why is what we call ourselves so important? Heh, sorry, I don’t usually get philosophical. I’ve just been wondering lately. Names are, of course, very important to my kind. Me, I have so many, I can’t even remember them all. None of them are my True Name, of course. No one has ever spoken my real name out loud, not once, despite all the titles and nicknames and myths I’ve collected for myself over the years. -

Abandonada por el principe de Invierno M el cual ella pensó la amaba, ahora es prisionera de la Reina Hada de invierno. Cuando la guerra se cierne entre Verano e invierno, Meghan sabe que el verdadero peligro viene de Hierro, las hadas de hierro que solo ella y su ausente principe han visto. Pero nadie le cree. Y lo peor es que los poderes de hada de Meghan han desaparecido. Ella esta sola en el país de las Hadas con solo su ingenio para ayudarla. Confiar en alguien sería tonto. Confiar en un aparente traidor podrá ser mortal. Pero incluso mientras crece un carácter de hierro, Meghan no puede dejar de oír los susurros del anhelo en su corazón demasiado-humano. 4 THE IRON DAUHGTER – JULIE KAWAGA FORO ‘AD’ PPRREEFFAACCIIOO Traducido por Isabella Corregido por Yre24 ¿Por qué debería confiar en ti?" le gruñí a Ash. ― Era completamente consciente de que estaba siendo idiota, que teníamos que salir de allí antes de que nadie nos viera, pero era como si me hubiera comido las tripas de algo, y las palabras simplemente seguían saliendo. "Has estado mintiéndome desde el principio. Todo lo que dijiste, todo lo que hicimos, fue una treta para traerme aquí. Me mentiste desde el principio." "Meghan-" "¿Es esto un juego al que te gusta jugar? ¿Hacer que la chica estúpida humana caiga rendida a ti y luego reírte mientras rompes su corazón? ¡Tu sabias lo que Rowan estaba haciendo, y no hiciste nada para detenerlo!" "¡Por supuesto que no!" gruñó Ash, su vehemencia me sorprendió dejándome en silencio. -

Editors' Introduction
Editors’ Introduction This is the 14th issue of Tolkien Studies, the first refereed journal solely devoted to the scholarly study of the works of J.R.R. Tolkien. As edi- tors, our goal is to publish excellent scholarship on Tolkien as well as to gather useful research information, reviews, notes, documents, and bibliographical material. All articles have been subject to anonymous, external review as well as receiving a positive judgment by the Editors. In the cases of articles by individuals associated with the journal in any way, each article had to receive at least two positive evaluations from two dif fer ent outside reviewers. Reviewer comments wer e anonymously conveyed to the au- thors of the articles. The Editors agreed to be bound by the recommen- dations of the outside referees. Although they are solicited and edited by the editors, book reviews represent the judgments of the individ- ual reviewers, not Tolkien Studies. Michael D. C. Drout Verlyn Flieger David Bratman 1 Acknowl edgments The Editors would like to thank Wheaton College, Norton, MA and Wheaton Research Partners for their support. Thanks also to Rowan Lowell, Paula Smith- MacDonald, Vaughn Howland, Raquel D’Oyen, and Berni Phillips, and also to West V irginia University Press, Derek Krissoff, Than Saffel, and Jason Gosnell. Fi nally, we acknowledge a special debt of gratitude to our anony- mous, outside reviewers who with their collegial ser vice contribute so much to Tolkien Studies. 2 In Memoriam Tolkien Studies notes the passing of Richard L(awrence) Purtill (1931– 2016), who died on December 4, 2016. -
