If the dwarves had written it, would they be the ones described as graceful, perfect beings, and the elves as grumpy, ugly little scoundrels? Or perhaps the reasons behind why the Elves are the only ones who can be bothered to write down detailed accounts of what happened; because they are far more developed? If the Dwarves had spent time to write I'm sure they'd be far more biased the other way, due to them only having seen the few Elves, compared to the many thousands of generations some of the Loremasters of the Elves have.
