I have read all of Tolkien’s versions of that story, as well as the Kalevala, part of which the story was based on. *sigh* Now I’ll have to go find a bookstore...

Readers who took up such books hoping for another Rings saga or charming yarn such as "The Hobbit" abandoned them after a few pages.

Now how can you say, "I have read all of Tolkien’s versions of that story, as well as the Kalevala, part of which the story was based on," when it's refuted right there in print!

(Congrats on your hard work.)
