I saw this on bookstagram and it was simply too cute to pass up. I needed it in my Tolkien collection.
This is a short children's biography of Tolkien. It includes that he went into WWI and that his friends died, so it was surprisingly realistic and accurate. But it was also light, interesting and done age appropriate.
The illustrations are wonderful and colorful. This would be a wonderful way to introduce your children to Tolkien as it goes pretty in depth into his writing. Then you could move on and read The Hobbit to them!
5/5*, a nice little collectible for me.
