John Ronald Reuel Tolkien (1892-1973) was a professor of the Anglo-Saxon language and author of several influential fantasy books such as The Hobbit, The Silmarillion, and The Lord of the Rings.
He created the land of Middle-earth which is inhabited by men, elves, dwarves, wizards, goblins and hobbits.[1] A sometime resident of the English Midlands, Tolkien based his vision of Mordor on the city of Birmingham, and other parts of Middle-Earth upon other parts of England.
He and several others (among them C.S.Lewis) were members of a literary club called the Inklings. [2]
