J.R.R. Tolkien was an orphan, a scholar, a soldier, a professor; and the author of what is considered by many to be the finest book of the 20th Century - The Lord of the Rings.

Seller's Description:
Very Good in Very Good jacket. Signed and personally inscribed by Michael Coren on the title page...this copy has a solid tight binding with clean unmarked pages....This is a book written for a young audience about the life and story of J.R.R. Tolkein, the man who wrote so much, so well, for so many of us. The story of his beginnings, his middle and his end. A story of an ordinary man who did extraordinary things. A story of mothers and fathers, sons and daughters. A story of God, religion, happiness, suffering, friendship and genius. Oh, and the story of the The Lord of the Rings, which in spite of what some people might say, is considered by many if not most of us to be one of the greatest books ever written.
