ABOUT THE AUTHOR
J. R. R. Tolkien was a British author, philologist, and professor best known for creating the epic fantasy classics The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings trilogy. A master world-builder, Tolkien crafted the richly detailed realm of Middle-earth, complete with its own languages, histories, and mythologies. His work laid the foundation for modern fantasy literature. In addition to his fiction, Tolkien was a respected academic and taught at Oxford University for many years.
