It’s not often that the ghettoes of Kingston, Jamaica, the passions of Verona in Italy and the residents of Hobbiton in the Shire are all discussed in the same interview.

Candles in the Dark: The Authorized Biography of Father Richard Ho Lung and the Missionaries of the Poor
 
Shakespeare on Love: Seeing the Catholic Presence in Romeo and Juliet
 
Bilbo’s Journey: Discovering the Hidden Meaning of The Hobbit
 
Here’s the link to the hour-long interview:
