	JRR Tolkien Biography - The Tolkien Society
		John Ronald Reuel Tolkien (1892-1973) was a major scholar of the English language, specialising in Old and Middle English.
		The West Midlands in Tolkien's childhood were a complex mixture of the grimly industrial Birmingham conurbation, and the quintessentially rural stereotype of England, Worcestershire and surrounding areas: Severn country, the land of the composers Elgar, Vaughan Williams and Gurney, and more distantly the poet A. Housman (it is also just across the border from Wales).
		In typical Tolkien fashion, he then decided he needed to find out what a Hobbit was, what sort of a hole it lived in, why it lived in a hole, etc. From this investigation grew a tale that he told to his younger children, and even passed round.

	J. R. R. Tolkien: A Biographical Sketch by David Doughan (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
		Tolkien's life was split between these two: the then very rural hamlet of Sarehole, with its mill, just south of Birmingham; and darkly urban Birmingham itself, where he was eventually sent to King Edward's School.
		Tolkien got into the habit of writing the children annual illustrated letters as if from Santa Claus, and a selection of these was published in 1976 as The Father Christmas Letters.
		By this time Tolkien had begun to make his Legendarium into what he believed to be a more presentable state, and as he later noted, hints of it had already made their way into The Hobbit.

	John Ronald Reuel Tolkien (1892-1973) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
		Tolkien was professor of Anglo-saxon and English language and literature from 1925-59 at Oxford University.
		Tolkien is most famous for his books The Hobbit (1937), The Lord of the Rings, which entails the three volumes entitled The Fellowship of the Ring, The Two Towers, and The Return of the King (1954-55), and The Silmarillion (1977), all of which are set in the mythological world of Middle-earth.
		Faith, for Tolkien, as his literary biographer Joseph Pearce reports, “was not an opinion to which one subscribed, but a reality to which one submitted.” In fact, Tolkien’s relationship with C. Lewis, Tolkien’s friend and colleague at Oxford, was instrumental in bringing a disillusioned Lewis back to the Christian faith.
