J.R.R.Tolkien (1892-1973) was a distinguished academic, though he is best known for writing The Hobbit, The Lord of the Rings and The Silmarillion, plus other stories and essays. His books have been translated into over 60 languages and have sold many millions of copies worldwide.

Financial Times ‘A creation of singular beauty… magnificent in its
best moments’
Washington Post ‘A grim, tragic, brooding and beautiful book, shot
through with heroism and hope… its power is almost that of
mysticism’
