J.R.R. Tolkien - Master of Fantasy
by David R Collins
Illustrated by William Heagy
From the Publisher
J.R.R. Tolkien believed Britain should have its own mythology. His love for invented language, legendary heroes, and storytelling was in evidence long before The Hobbit was published in 1937 and became an international success. Begun as a series of bedtime tales for Tolkien's four children, The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings have appeared on recommended reading lists since their publication and are among the best-selling paperback books of all time. Fans of J.R.R. Tolkien's classic tales will be captivated by David R. Collins's engrossing portrait of this author whose "British mythology" is now known and loved throughout the world. Collins vividly portrays the life of the man who has been called "the master of fantasy."
