J.R.R. Tolkien, creator of the languages and history of Middle-earth as recorded in The Hobbit, The Lord of the Rings and The Silmarillion, was one of the most prolific letter-writers of the last century. Over the years he wrote a mass of letters — to his publishers, to members of his family, to friends, and to “fans” of his books — which often reveal the inner workings of his mind, and which record the history of composition of his works and his reaction to subsequent events.
