Recenzje

'An extraordinary book. It deals with a stupendous theme. It leads us through a succession of strange and astonishing episodes, some of them magnificent, in a region where everything is invented, forest, moor, river, wilderness, town and the races which inhabit them.'
Observer

'Among the greatest works of imaginative fiction of the twentieth century.'
Sunday Telegraph

'The English-speaking world is divided into those who have read The Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit and those who are going to read them.'
Sunday Times

'A story magnificently told, with every kind of colour and movement and greatness.'
New Statesman

'Masterpiece? Oh yes, I've no doubt about that.'
Evening Standard

O autorze

John Ronald Reuel Tolkien was born on the 3rd January, 1892 at Bloemfontein in the Orange Free State, but at the age of four he and his brother were taken back to England by their mother. After his father's death the family moved to Sarehole, on the south-eastern edge of Birmingham. Tolkien spent a happy childhood in the countryside and his sensibility to the rural landscape can clearly be seen in his writing and his pictures.
