J.R.R. Tolkien (1892-1973) was a distinguished academic, though he
is best known for writing The Hobbit, The Lord of the Rings, and
The Silmarillion, plus other stories and essays. His books have
been translated into over sixty languages and have sold many
millions of copies worldwide.
CHRISTOPHER TOLKIEN (1924-2020) was the third son of J.R.R.
Tolkien. Appointed by Tolkien to be his literary executor, he
devoted himself to the editing and publication of unpublished
writings, notably The Silmarillion, Unfinished Tales, and The
History of Middle-earth. ALAN LEE was born in Middlesex in 1947.
His illustrated books include Faeries (with Brian Froud), Castles
and Merlin Dreams, and the three 'Great Tales' of Middle-earth: The
Children of H�rin, Beren and L�thien, and The Fall of Gondolin. He
has worked on such prestigious films as Erik the Viking (Terry
Gilliam), Legend (Ridley Scott), and the acclaimed NBC miniseries
Merlin. He is best known, however, for his work on the books The
Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings, and now the film versions.
