Author biography The writer of the book that I choose is J.R.R Tolkien; full name, John Ronald Reuel Tolkien. He was an English writer with educational roots from Germany. He was a professor in ancient English language at the University of Oxford for a total of 20 years. He is most known for his writing Romans //the Lord of the Rings, the Hobbit// and //Silmarillion.// Most of his novels and roman’s are set into his imaginary world of Arda. (an imaginary preexisting Europe)

Tolkien was appointed Commander of the Order of the British Empire by Queen Elizabeth ll on 28 March 1972. Tolkien was born in southern Africa in the colonized city of Bloemfontein. His father, Arthur Reuel Tolkien, was an English bank manager who had been transported from an average English bank manager job to head of the Bloemfontein bank office of the British bank. He died 4 years later when his son was 4 years old and he was 39 years old. Tolkiens mother was named Mabel Suffield. She died when Tolkien was 12 years old at an age of 34 years. Easy to tell from the deaths of his parents, it was unexpected that Tolkien himself would live to an age of 81 years, more than the age of both his parents combined. After his death, his son Christopher Tolkien, published Tolkiens last book called The Silmarillion.
