 Tolkien: The Man Behind the Myth Tolkien: “I am in fact a Hobbit”. In 1958, Tolkien wrote the following to a fan, Deborah Webster. I am in fact a Hobbit (in all but size). I like gardens, trees and unmechanized farmlands; I smoke a pipe, and like good plain food (unrefrigerated), but detest French cooking; I like and even dare to wear in these dull days, ornamental waistcoats. I am fond of mushrooms (out of a field); have a very simple sense of humour (which even my appreciative critics find tiresome); I go to bed late and get up late (when possible). I do not travel much.” J.R.R.Tolkien touched many lives with his epic tale, “The Lord of the Rings”. He was passionate about his religion, and deeply devoted to his wife and family. A charming man, loving of and greatly beloved by children. Learn more about this vastly influential author in the thoroughly delightful May issue of Christian History.
