06.01.2022 Now this will be a fascinating read ’Borne on the Wind is the compelling autobiography of English artist Mary Fairburn. Mary has led an extraordinary life: from camping with lions in the Serengeti to volunteering at Mother Teresa’s ‘Home for the destitute and dying’ in Kolkata.. Although marked by the disruptions of war, Mary Fairburn’s early life was a magical time, immersed in art, friendships and the landscape of southern England. She was inspired creatively and spiritua...lly by myth and story, particularly by the English fantasy tradition of C.S Lewis and J.R.R. Tolkien, which eventually led her to illustrate The Lord of the Rings. Tolkien himself was very impressed by Mary’s work: ‘I think the samples you sent me are splendid. They are better pictures in themselves and also show far more attention to the text than any that have yet been submitted to me.’ (Letter from J.R.R. Tolkien to Mary Fairburn, 24th May, 1968.) An exchange of letters ensued (between Mary Fairburn and J.R.R. Tolkien) but unfortunately due to a series of misadventures they were not published until 2014, in Tolkien: The Official Calendar 2015 by Harper Collins. Borne on the Wind features descriptions of Mary’s many and varied occupations, which serve as an historical snapshot from the perspective of an independent, creative woman.’ #stonemansbookroom #castlemaine #borneonthewind #maryfairburn #tolkien #jrrtolkien #lordoftherings #artist #illustrator #memoir #castlemainelocal #art #shoplocal #independentbookstore
