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
By Drogo Moss - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Tolkien Family Album (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.

charming book of memory, 23 Feb 2010
By Ellen M. Simmons "liederlover" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Tolkien Family Album (Hardcover)
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.
Listmania!
