This is the fascinating story of how the man who created 'The Hobbit' became one of the giants of modern literature.
In absorbing and revealing detail, he describes Tolkien's life from his childhood years and the tragic early death of his parents; his burgeoning romance with Edith Brett; his many years as an Oxford academic; his friendship with CS Lewis and the founding of 'The Inklings' group; how the inspiration for 'The Hobbit' came while marking an exam paper; and why 'The Lord Of The Rings' became the must-read of the late sixties counter-culture, and now a major film phenomenon.
