Deep Roots in a Time of Frost: Essays on Tolkien, by scholar Patrick Curry, explores themes of enchantment in relation to "faërie" and the Elves, and of nature, in J.R.R. Tolkien's Middle-earth writings. It was published by Walking Tree Publishers in 2014, as the 33rd book of the Cormarë Series. Much of its content follows after arguments in Curry's earlier book, Defending Middle-earth (1997).
- "If Tolkien were alive today, he would, I believe, endorse Curry...as the critic closest to the secret of enchantment: the primal desire of imagined wonder, that trace-element missing in the assumptions...of Tolkien's modernist critics, the heart of his own universal appeal."
- —Tom Shippey
