(Originally uploaded May 16, 2019) Tolkien tells the story of the young man who would become the acclaimed author of The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings. Orphaned at a young age, J.R.R. Tolkien’s vast imagination and love for language, as well as the influences of friendship, romance and war, combine to birth his vision for the now-classic tales of Middle Earth.
