J. R. R. Tolkein born 1892




John Ronald Reuel Tolkein, born December 3, 1892, is the author of the Lord of the Rings trilogy.  The Hobbit, which he wrote for his children, was published in 1937 and became popular with adults as well as children. His publishers asked for a sequel, so he spent 10 years writing the Lord of the Rings trilogy, originally published in 1954-1955.
