Some interesting facts for Tolkien fans. Read on …
Tolkien was born on this day in 1892. In honour of the anniversary of his birth, we’re launching a new series, ‘Five Fascinating Facts’, which will be a regular feature on this blog over the coming months. Fans of our blog may have followed our recent series, ‘Five Reasons’, featuring articles on lesser-known writers such as George Meredith, Sir Edward Bulwer-Lytton, Ernest Dowson, and George du Maurier.

Thanks! The year is starting out a little too cold for my taste. This morning it was 25 degrees, 11 with the wind chill…and I’m in the South!

I’m in the South too :) Fortunately, I grew up in the North so I’m taking the cold in stride, especially as my relatives way up there are quite a bit worse off :(

I was just thinking about looking into the lives of a few of my favorite authors the other day, to see what I could learn from them, and Tolkien would definitely be one of them, so thanks for the timing of this post!
