| Â | Definition of J. R. R. Tolkien |
 | | Tolkien's other published fiction includes book adaptions of stories originally told to his children and not directly related to Middle-earth. | | | Tolkien at first thought that The Lord of the Rings would tell another children's tale like The Hobbit, but it quickly grew darker and more serious in the writing. | | | Tolkien was a recognized authority on Beowulf, and published several important works on the poem. |

| | Tolkien's Catholicism does not appear overtly in the book. | | | Tolkien's epic world is populated by elves, dwarves, magicians, and evil monsters. | | | Calling him 'a nassty little rabbit' was a piece of vulgar trollery, just as 'descendant of rats' was a piece of dwarfish malice." The physical size of his character as other concrete details were important to Tolkien. |

| | 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. | | | (Tolkien's publishers had changed hands, and names, several times between the start of the enterprise in 1983 and the appearance of the paperback edition of Volume 12, | | | At this time he was also working on various poetic attempts, and on his invented languages, especially one that he came to call Qenya [sic], which was heavily influenced by Finnish - but he still felt the lack of a connecting thread to bring his vivid but disparate imaginings together. |

| | The 400-page edition of The Lord of the Rings, published in America by Houghton on Oct. 21, 1954, was only a literary sliver of what its author wanted in print. | | | It took 50 years to the day -- and a bit more than 31 years after his death in 1973 -- but J.R.R. Tolkien finally has the book he always intended. | | | Fans of JRR Tolkien today welcomed the renaming of a city nature reserve used by the author as inspiration for his Lord of the Rings trilogy. |

| Â | The Tolkien Timeline |
| | This compilation is a chronological list of important events relating to Tolkien's life, career, and scholarly pursuits, and attempts to provide a more clear picture of this astounding man. | | | Tolkien continued to work on both his languages and stories, long after his retirement from Oxford, right up until his death in 1973. | | | ecause so much of the focus has been on his two most famous literary works, The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings, J.R.R. Tolkien appears to the casual reader as nothing more than an author of fantasy literature. |
