The Letters of J.R.R. Tolkien | J.R.R. Tolkien

Happy Hobbit Day!

I find it very appropriate that I‘m reading letter 22 on September 22, also known as #HobbitDay because it is Bilbo & Frodo‘s birthday, and Tolkien mentions his early drafts of the beginning of what became LotR.

JazzFeathers I totally missed the day 😭 I didn't forget, but I'm so busy and messed up at the moment, that l didn't manage to do anything. I'm reaching the letters from 1938 now, and I'm totally loving them! 3y

HAPPY HOBBIT DAY! Hope you're all finding fun ways to celebrate Bilbo and Frodo's shared birthday 🤓 I'm flipping through this copy my father gave me as a kid. Seeing as Banned Books Week starts tomorrow, here's some trivia for you: The Hobbit has been banned several times, most notably in 2001, when a Christian group in New Mexico held a LITERAL BOOK BURNING to decry Tolkien's work. Crazy, eh? #HobbitDay #TheHobbit #BannedBooks #BannedBooksWeek

Bookwomble Ironic, given that Tolkien was a devout Christian. 5y
