Who Was J. R. R. Tolkien? (Who Was...?)
ebooks Download

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.From the Trade Paperback edition.

Excellent book for kids doing a biography book report, my son's teacher was impressed with his report all due to this book.

My 10 year old daughter, a big "Lord of the Rings" fan, absolutely loved this biography.

Very simple, brief. Book seemed written for youth.

Full of interesting facts

great book
