In 1917, in Roos, Yorkshire, John Ronald Reuel Tolkien watched his wife, Edith, dance in a glade. The sight inspired Tolkien, barely returned from World War I, to write his cornerstone story Beren and Luthien. Ronald and Edith tells a (slightly) altered version of the facts of that fateful day. Join Tolkien and his wife, Edith, as they navigate war and love, elves and demons through storytelling.
