The Lord of the Rings began as a sequel to Tolkien's 1937 children's fantasy novel The Hobbit, but eventually developed into a much larger work. It was written in stages between 1937 and 1949, much of it during World War II in letters from Tolkien to his son, "and finally, having polished it to his own satisfaction, published it as a trilogy from 1954 to 1955, a volume at a time, impatiently awaited by a growing audience. It is considered one of this centuryâs lasting contributions to that borderland of literature between youth and age. It seems destined to become this centuryâs contribution to that select list of books which continue through the ages to be read by children and adults with almost equal pleasure." (Eyre, 134-35). It has went on to become the third best selling novel of all-time with 150 million copies sold.

Private content. Exemplaire signé par le petit-fils de J.R.R Tolkien, Michael George Reuel Tolkien (né en 1943). Né en 1943 à Birmingham, Michael George est le premier enfant de Michael Tolkien, le second fils de J.R.R. Tolkien. Il a passé son enfance dans une communauté rurale dans les collines de Chiltern, dans le sud du comté de l'Oxfordshire jusqu'en 1956 puis déménage de nombreuses fois en raison des changements d'emploi de son père. Durant sa jeunesse, il entretient une correspondance avec son grand-père. Il a étudié la littérature et la langue anglaise à l'Université de St Andrews puis la littérature de la Restauration et du XVIIIème siècle anglais au Merton College d'Oxford avant d'embrasser une carrière d'enseignant. Michael est un poète et auteur de plusieurs livres. Le plus connu est sans doute l'ouvrage Wish, sur lequel il a collaboré avec Gerald Dickens, petit-fils de l'auteur Charles Dickens, qui a enregistré une lecture audio du poème de Michael. En 1994, Michael prend sa retraite pour raisons de santé. Il a été marié trois fois et a deux filles, Catherine et Ruth. Michael est un membre du conseil du Tolkien Estate. Il continue de participer régulièrement à des évènements en l'honneur de son grand-père, comme en 2012, au festival The Return of the Ring organisé par l'Université de Loughborough.
