Tolkien: How an Obscure Oxford Professor Wrote The Hobbit and Became the Most Beloved Author of the Century

Devin Brown tells the story of how J. R. R. Tolkien went from being an obscure Oxford philologist to being one of the best-known writers in the history of literature, a true tale as fascinating and as inspiring as any of the fictional ones Tolkien would go on to write. Weaving in the major aspects of the author's life, career, and faith, Brown traces the amazing odyssey of how The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings came to be written and published.

With the final film in the Tolkien catalogue soon to be released, this book answers the question of what factors contributed to the world and worldview of The Hobbit's celebrated author and allows readers to get to know the man behind the myth, Tolkien.
