I chose this book because I enjoy reading biographies of famous people and find it fascinating to read about what life was like years ago. It is somewhat like stepping through a time capsule and coming out on the other side to an entirely different world.
This book was a quick read and I especially found Tolkien’s childhood very interesting. His mother was a very strong woman. I don’t think other single mothers in that day were quite as creative when it came to providing for the family. She sacrificed it all for her children and made sure they received what they needed.
For those who have read Tolkien’s books or watched the movies made after his books, I highly recommend that they read this biography. It will give some insight on his character and imagination.
