I did not know this! I absolutely love Tolkien’s work. And now I have an excuse once a year to bug absolutely everyone about it! I will be reading his biography shortly, the man just has a great style of writing. It’s like the classic grandfather reading you an epic bedtime story that comes to life. Fantastic news.
