Product Description
Synopsis
This biography of Tolkien looks at the family details of the author's life. It tells of his love affair with Edith Bratt, and the dramatic circumstances of their relationship and eventual marriage; of Tolkien's experiences in World War I; of the birth of his children; his academic career, and of the writing of the books that made him a household name all over the world. The book also takes a look at the often strange fan mail that he received, and the honours bestowed upon him before and after his death.

This hobbit feels incredible joy. . .
22 Mar 2002
Format:Hardcover
. . .when paging through this delightful book. The Master, JRR Tolkien, obviously shared the hobbitish characteristic of great love for family. It appears that his children shared this love as well. In this wonderful book, family photos and stories are presented with text provided by the Master's youngest child (and only daughter) Priscilla.
Many thanks to Priscilla for allowing the rest of us to share in the joy of your family.

Heartwarming and joyful, this book is a precious gift. It provides a loving look into the heart, the life, and the love of the Master -- JRR Tolkien.
Many thanks to the Tolkien children for the labor of love.
charming book of memory

Format:Hardcover|Amazon Verified Purchase
This little gem was compiled by John and Priscilla Tolkien, two of J.R.R.'s children. It contains family photos and memories of the life of this English family. There's really nothing else like it in the Tolkien literature. Provides an intimate glimpse of their home and family life together.
