5.0 out of 5 stars
A great biography,
By Kurt A. Johnson (North-Central Illinois, USA) - See all my reviews (HALL OF FAME REVIEWER) (VINE VOICE) (TOP 100 REVIEWER) (REAL NAME)
This review is from: J. R. R. Tolkien: Creator of Languages and Legends (Great Life Stories-Writers and Poets) (Hardcover)
This slim and attractive book is a wonderful biography of John Ronald Reuel Tolkien, the author of the classic works, The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings. Starting with his birth in South Africa in 1892, the book follows his life, focusing on the love of languages that he maintained throughout his life. Along the way, the reader is treated to many colorful pictures and informative sidebars.Although this biography was written with the younger read (9-12) in mind, in truth it is a great biography for anyone interested in J.R.R. Tolkien. First my thirteen-year-old daughter read this book, then my wife did, and now I have; and I must say that we all enjoyed it. The book is easy to understand, but does not skimp on information. Overall, I have no hesitation in recommending this book to anyone interested in J.R.R. Tolkien. |
