Description: A fascinating new biography of the creator of the Lord of the Rings and Middle Earth.
Brief description: Colin Duriez is an expert on C.S. Lewis, his writings and also his wider circle. He is also the author of the popular biography C.S. Lewis: A biography of friendship and J.R.R. Tolkien: The Making of a Legend (both published by Lion Hudson). He has also written widely on other aspects of Lewis, Tolkien and the other members of the Inklings, and has contributed to conferences, lectures, DVDs and documentaries on these subjects.
Review Quotes: A welcome addition to any Tolkien reader's bookshelf. It is impossible to read Colin Duriez's volume without wanting to reread Tolkien's books--an undoubted compliment to both authors. --Brian Sibley, author, The Lord of the Rings' Official Movie Guide
