| | Works inspired by J. R. R. Tolkien - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Tolkien was very critical of these, and in 1946 he rejected illustrations by Horus Engels for the German edition of the Hobbit as "too Disnified". | | | But Tolkien was not fond of all the artistic representation of his works that were produced in his lifetime, and was sometimes harshly disapproving. | | | Probably the widest-known Tolkien illustrators of the 1990s and 2000s are John Howe, Alan Lee, and Ted Nasmith — Alan Lee for illustrated editions of The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings, Ted Nasmith for illustrated editions of The Silmarillion, and John Howe for the cover artwork to several Tolkien publications. |

| | J. R. R. Tolkien - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | Tolkien was strongly influenced by Anglo-Saxon literature, Germanic and Norse mythologies, Finnish folklore, the Bible, and Greek mythology. | | | Tolkien never expected his fictional stories to become popular but he was persuaded by a former student to publish a book he had written for his own children called The Hobbit in 1937. | | | Tolkien wrote a brief summary of the mythology these poems were intended to represent, and that summary eventually evolved into The Silmarillion, an epic history that Tolkien started three times but never published. |

| | Edgbaston was familiar to Tolkien because it was the home of his aunt, with whom he lived for four years after his mother died in 1904. | | | The Bodleian library is in possession of some of Tolkien's original manuscripts which are, unfortunately, not accessible to the general public. | | | Despite the scepticism of many Tolkien experts as to the authenticity of the Scottish inspiration theory, some of the scenery does unquestionably bear an uncanny resemblance to Middle Earth. |
