T is for Tolkien

I’m sure everyone knows who J.R.R Tolkien is. And if you don’t recognize the name, then just know that J.R.R Tolkien is the man who created Middle-Earth, the land of Lord Of The Rings and The Hobbit.

The Hobbit

The Hobbit is where it all began! In the Hobbit we meet Bilbo Baggins, who ends up going on an adventure with a company of dwarves. I used to have all of the dwarves names memorized, but I don’t anymore. I just remember Oin and Gloin, Nori, Dori and Ori, Fili and Kili, Dwalin and Balin, Bifur, Bofur and Bombur, and Thorin Oakenshield.

Wow, okay, that’s all of them. Never mind, I still have them memorized. I’ll admit, I did look up how to spell Bifur, Bofur and Bombur. 😀

The Lord of the Rings

And then of course, there’s the Lord Of The Rings.

If you enjoyed the movie, then there’s a pretty good chance that you’ll enjoy the book too. It’s even more fun if you know the movie well – because then you can see exactly what they took from the book. 🙂

And if you want to get all four books, (The Hobbit, The Fellowship of the Ring, The Two Towers, and The Return of the King), they have a boxed set with all four of them.

Have you read any of these? What did you think of them?

    It’s been a long time since I’ve read any of Tolkin’s books. We have the Hobbit on our shelves, but not Lord of the Rings. I’ll have to look into getting them.
