Happy Birthday t0 J.R.R. Tolkien: Lord of Fantasy!

Photobucket

January 3rd is the birthday of fantasy writer J.R.R. Tolkien!  Tolkien inspired almost every famous fantasy writer, as well as countless children and adults who love his stories. 

Photobucket

It is no secret nor surprise that J.R.R. Tolkien, C.S. Lewis, and J.K. Rowling are three of fantasy's best-loved writers.  Rowling has openly expressed her admiration of Tolkien and lists him as one of her inspirations.  Many elements of Tolkien can be found tucked away as little surprises in her own novels.  C.S. Lewis was one of Tolkien's best friends, and they were members of the famous literary circle "The Inklings."

The Tolkien Society offers a beautiful biography and information here: http://www.tolkiensociety.org/tolkien/biography.html

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, J.R.R.!!!!!!!
