#HappyBirthday to J.R.R. Tolkien! Born on 3 January 1892, today is his twelfty-seventh birthday (127th)! Tolkien began writing The Hobbit as a Professor of English Language and Literature at Oxford University. His creative perspective was born from a childhood spent briefly in South Africa and then rural England, a short but wretched tour during World War I, and an avid fascination with German literature. Tolkien built upon the tradition of fantasy literature by inventing a new language—Elvish.
Although it was originally billed as a children’s book, such creativity attracted a wide audience and brought rave reviews for The Hobbit, which sold out of its original print run of 1,500 copies three months after publication in 1937.
