• JRR Tolkien Day

Tolkien wrote “The Hobbit” and “The Lord of the Rings” trilogy, all of which were made into highly successful movies after his death.

Hobbits are gentle creatures. Whether you loved the idea of all of the different races of people in the story working together, the idea of rabbit-like hobbits, or Orlando Bloom’s flowing blond elvish hair from the movies, Tolkien’s vision of Middle Earth has created millions of fans. Additionally, the world Tolkien created isn’t limited to the well-known books and movies, expanding into other books related to Middle Earth.
