Who Was J. R. R. Tolkien?
Who Was J. R. R. Tolkien? | Pam Pollack, Meg Belviso, Pamela D Pollack
6 posts | 6 read | 5 to read
Best known for his epic"Lord of the Rings"trilogy and"The Hobbit," J.R.R. Tolkien was born in British-occupied South Africa. His early life was full of action and adventure. Tolkien spent his childhood roaming the British countryside with his family and could read and write by age four. He was naturally gifted with languages and used this skill as a signals officer in World War I as well as in his fantasy writing. By creating alternate universes and inventing languages in his work he demonstrated that imaginary realms were not just for children. Fondly remembered as the Father of High Fantasy, Tolkien s books have inspired blockbuster movies and legions of fans."

I've read TheLord of the Rings and The Hobbit, but I really didn't know much about Tolkien beyond his friendship with C.S. Lewis and having been a professor at Oxford.
This was an informative book and I may in the future pick up a more in depth biography.

Think I can reach my goal by midnight? It's 11pm this book is 100 pages.
I feel like The Blues Brothers trying to make it to Chicago on time.

Read my first who was "big head" book this afternoon and I sooooooo wish these were around when I was growing up. This was a short chapter book / biography with well done details about Tolkien as well as side pages about WWI, Oxford English Dictionary, CS Lewis, and more!

Graciouswarriorprincess I agree. I love the "big head" books!? 9y
