The international appeal of Tolkien was recently highlighted for me when I was informed that Italian Tolkien scholar Roberto Arduini had translated CF Cooper’s Mythcon reports for the Associazione Romana Studi Tolkieniani / Roman Association of Tolkien Studies. The post, “Premio a Verlyn Flieger: diario della Mythcon 44” is obviously written in Italian, which I do not read. However, I somehow managed to get the gist of it, mainly with the help of some Latin floating in the back of my mind. An English page gives some information about the Association and its activities.

Many thanks, Anna!
I translated Cooper’s report because he wrote it almost during Mythcon 44.
From then, there were pubblished many other reports and your report also.
I read all of them and I would like to come next year to Mythcon 45!
Best wishes
Roberto

Roberto: Yes, Chris Cooper was able to write his posts very quickly. It was fun to wake up in the morning and to be able to read his report of the day before right away.
I also hope that I can go to Mythcon 45 next year. Maybe I’ll see you there!
