This book provides an extremely detailed and comprehensive insight into the life of one of the most well-known and renowned authors of our time and is the official authorized biography of Tolkien by the Tolkien Society. After re-reading The Hobbit with intentions of reading The Lord of the Rings (LOTR) for the first time, I decided to read up a bit on the author himself before embarking on the journey. Tolkien: A Biographyby Humphrey Carpenter. If you are ever looking for a biography on an absolutely fascinating person, look no further than J.R.R. “One writes such a story not out of the leaves of trees still to be observed, nor by means of botany and soil-science but it grows like a seed in the dark out of the leaf-mould of the mind: out of all that has been seen or thought or read, that has long ago been forgotten, descending into the deeps.”
