Back to EpisodesTolkien – When the World Was Young (Part One)
Description
In the quiet corners of a small English town, in the flickering glow of candlelight, a boy loses himself in the pages of myth and legend—unaware that one day, his own words will shape the greatest fantasy saga ever written.
John Ronald Reuel Tolkien… a name that would one day transport millions to the lands of elves, dwarves, and dragons. But before Middle-earth, before the One Ring, before the sweeping battles and the lore that would captivate generations, there was simply a young man—a scholar, a soldier, a lover of words—who lived through war, loss, and great friendships… all of which would one day find their way into his stories.
And then, one fateful summer, a single sentence appeared on a blank page—words that would change fantasy literature forever:
‘In a hole in the ground, there lived a hobbit.’
