The Lord of the Rings, one of the best sellers in the new millennium(千年)，was made up of three parts ―The Fellowship of the Ring,Two Towers，and The Return of the King. Millions upon millions of people have read it in over25different languages, but fewer know about the author and the history of the composition of the creative masterwork.
John Ronald Reuel Tolkien was born in South Africa in 1892. His parents died when he was a child. Living in England with his aunt,Tolkien and his cousins were fond of playing languages, a hobby that led to Tolkien，s becoming skilled in Welsh，Greek，Gothic，Old Norse and Anglo-Saxon.
After graduating from Oxford,Tolkien served in World War L In 1917, while recovering from trench fever,he began composing the mythology(神話)for The Rings. As a professor of Anglo-Saxon in 1930s at Oxford，Tolkien was part of an informal discussion group called the Inklings，which included several writers. The group was soon listening to chapters of Tolkien，s imaginative work The Hobbit, Hobbit was a name Tolkien created for a local people that could best be described as half-sized members of the English rural(鄉村的)class. Hobbits live in hillside holes. One of them，Bilbo Baggins， looks for treasures with a group of dwarves (侏懦）.On the way，he meets the twisted，pitiful creature Gollum，from whom he sees a golden ring that makes the holder invisible.
One of Tolkien's students persuaded her employer,publisher Allen & Unwin,to look at the draft(草稿）.The chairman of the firm,Stanley Unwin,thought that the best judge for a children' s book would be his ten-year-old son. The boy earned a shilling for reporting back that the adventure was exciting,and The Hobbit was published in 1937.
