Description
_The Real JRR Tolkien: The Man Who Created Middle Earth_ is a comprehensive biography of the linguist and writer; taking the reader from his formative years of home-schooling, through the spires of Oxford, to his romance with his wife-to-be on the brink of war, and onwards into his phenomenal academic success and his creation of the seminal high fantasy world of Middle Earth. _The Real JRR Tolkien_ delves into his influences, places, friendships, triumphs and tragedies, with particular emphasis on how his remarkable life and loves forged the worlds of The Hobbit and Lord of the Rings. Using contemporary sources and comprehensive research, _The Real JRR Tolkien_ offers a unique insight into the life and times of one of Britain''s greatest authors, from cradle to grave to legacy.
