J.R.R. Tolkien Welcome to the section devoted entirely to Professor John Ronald Reuel Tolkien, creator of Middle-earth! Without him, The Lord of the Rings would not exist, this site would not exist, the movies would not exist, and Orlando Bloom would not exist (well, he would, but hardly anyone would know). You can use the map above to navigate to the different sections, which are as follows: Biography Summary of the Professor's life, with anecdotes and quotes included Gallery Photos of Tolkien, his family and friends, and pictures he drew Media Sound clips of the Professor reading his own work Quotes Words straight from Tolkien's mouth, on subjects ranging from the origins of LotR to driving cars Writings A complete list of his writings, both Middle-earthian and not, with summaries of each Fact Sheet A cast bio-style page for those with short attention spans--includes important dates and fun facts about Tolkien   Enjoy learning about Professor Tolkien, author of the century!   Note: I give credit to sources used (if any) at the bottom of every page. If you wish to use any sections, please link back to Arwen-Undomiel.com and any sources that were used. Thanks!
