J.R.R.Tolkien (1892-1973) was a distinguished academic, though he is best known for writing The Hobbit, The Lord of the Rings and The Silmarillion, plus other stories and essays. His books have been translated into over 30 languages and have sold many millions of copies worldwide.
`The Hobbit belongs to a very small class of books which have
nothing in common save that each admits us to a world of its own.
Its place is with Alice and The Wind in the Willows.’
Times Literary Supplement `One of the best loved characters in
English fiction… a marvellous fantasy adventure’
Daily Mail `Finely written saga of dwarves and elves, fearsome
goblins and trolls… an exciting epic of travel, magical adventure,
working up to a devastating climax’
The Observer
