Rune Torstein Kidde (1957–2013) was a prolific and beloved Danish multi-artist whose work spanned comics, literature, music, and radio. Often described as the spiritual heir to the legendary humourist Storm P., Kidde was a central figure in the Danish underground scene before becoming a household name for his “wicked” reworkings of classic fairy tales.

In 1990, at age 33, Kidde lost his eyesight due to complications from diabetes. Despite this, he famously refused to slow down, shifting his focus from drawing to writing, oral storytelling, and music, producing over 100 books and numerous albums during his life.

There is little clear evidence on the exact details of this production. It seems that following the success of his production, Hobbitten, Rune T Kidde launched into making Eventyret om Ringen (The Fellowship of the Ring). It has been claimed that it was broadcast on Danmarks Radio between 1999 and 2000 but this is unconfirmed and a collaborator at the time has indicated that there was some problems in obtaining the rights, which meant that it would have been too expensive for Danmarks Radio to produce it and thus it was never aired.
