The Story of J.R.R. Tolkien

Millions of readers love The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings, but few know much about the man who wrote them, and fewer still know how deeply his Catholic faith shaped those epic stories.

This new Vision Book tells the true story of J.R.R. Tolkien for young readers: an orphaned boy raised by a devoted priest, a soldier who survived the trenches of the First World War, an Oxford professor, a husband and father of four, and a storyteller whose imagination took root early and grew into one of the great achievements of modern literature.

A wonderful introduction to Tolkien's life and faith for young fans of Middle-earth.
