Description
John Ronald Reuel Tolkien was born on the 3rd January 1892 at Bloemfontein in the Orange Free State. At the age of four he returned home with his mother Mary and younger brother Hilary to England. After his father's death, Tolkien's family made their home at Sarehole in Birmingham. Tolkien had a happy childhood in the Sarehole countryside.His love of the countryside can clearly be seen in his work. And in his pictures.
Tolkien's mother died when he was 12. With his brother Hilary he became wards of a priest at the Birmingham Oratory. Both Tolkien and his brother attended King Edward's School in Birmingham where Tolkien achieved distinction in Classics and also encountered Anglo-Saxon and Middle English. At this time also, he began to develop his linguistic abilities by inventing languages which he related to 'fairy' or 'elvish' people. After a first in English Language and Literature at Exeter College, Oxford, Tolkien married Edith Bratt. He was then commissioned in the Lancashire Fusiliers and served in the battle of the Somme where he lost three of his closest friends.
After the war Tolkien obtained a post on the New English Dictionary and began to write 'The Lost Tales' but which eventually became the legendary 'The Silmarillion.' After having two children, Tolkien was appointed as reader in the English language at the University of Leeds, which soon changed to a Professorship four years later.
