Mills, Stella Marie (1903-1989) The Saga of Hrolf Kraki. Oxford: Basil Blackwell, 1933. First and only edition, in publisher's green cloth, 8 1/2 x 5 1/2 in. Mills was a student and lifelong friend of J.R.R. Tolkien; this was her only published work. Tolkien was very familiar with the Hrolf Saga, for example Tolkien's character Beorn, the shape-changer, from The Hobbit , was based on Bothvar Bjarki (little bear) and his father Bjorn, who metamorphose into bears. This book was dedicated by Mills to her professors Gordon, Tolkien, and Onions.
