25 March - Tolkien Reading Day
His full name was John Ronald Reuel Tolkien. He was born on January 3, 1892, in Bloemfontein, Orange Free State, South Africa. He died on September 2, 1973, in Oxford, England. Did you know that J. R. R. Tolkien was home taught by his mother Mabel? She said his strengths were art, botany and languages. Tolkien could read and write fluently by the age of four.
He was greatly influenced by his travels in Switzerland and its landscapes. This features heavily in Bilbo’s travels over the Misty Mountains in The Hobbit, which was released on September 21, 1937. While The Hobbit was written for children, The Lord of the Rings became darker and took a more serious tone. In 2003, March 25th was announced as Tolkien Reading Day in schools.
