Tolkien Family Album

About this book

This biography of Tolkien looks at the family details of the authors life. It tells of his love affair with Edith Bratt and the dramatic circumstances of their relationship and eventual marriage; of Tolkiens experiences in World War I; of the birth of his children; his academic career and of the writing of the books that made him a household name all over the world. The book also takes a look at the often strange fan mail that he received and the honours bestowed upon him before and after his death.
