John Ronald Reuel Tolkien (1892-1973)
This month guest author Mark W. Swarthout, contributing editor of a North American Genealogical History site and I exchanged articles. Check out his site at http://www.suite101.com/welcome.cfm/north_american_gene_history Mark writes about J.R.R. Tolkien, who created the fantasy world of Middle Earth. Populated with a memorable spectrum of imaginary characters, from the familiar elves and dwarves to his unique hobbits and orcs. His first book, <I>The Hobbit,</I> was published in 1937 and was eventually followed by <I>The Lord of the Rings,</I> a series of five books published in three volumes. Within these pages, Tolkien's love of trees is a key element, as is his fear of spiders. Since his death in 1973, his children have edited and published additional stories and volumes of his notes. <I>The Fellowship of the Ring</I> will hit the big screen this fall, the first of three films in an epic production of his books
