Sure you’ve watched the movies. Some of you may have read the books, too. But not many would know much about the man who created the magnificent lands and creatures of Middle Earth.
I was quite thrilled initially to read about JRRT’s early life and how his Christian faith help shape the ideas his writings, having read quite a bit about this matter in the past. This booked offered a quick introduction (only about 130 pages) and it did provided a good background story to how he formulated his ideas as a child, wrote, re-wrote and published his books.
For me the stories of his early childhood were interesting, but the college years lost me a bit. But the most enjoyable part was when we was getting his book edited and published.
All in all a quick and interesting read. Could have done with more contemporary editing and some pics, though.
