Quite unlike any other book in contemporary English literature, the Hobbit was an extended fairy tale, an allegory set in a mythical world peopled with strange creatures and animals. It was not the sort of book that ought to have become a best seller in the late 1930's, but it did  – so much so that the publisher requested a sequel. Delayed by the horror of war, the first volume of Lord of the Rings eventually reached the bookshops in 1954.

Since then, Tolkien has come to be seen as one of the most important figures in English literature this century, an original genius who created his own style of literature and his own universe. So who was this unusual figure, born in the late nineteenth century in rural South Africa?
