How Does Bilbo Portrays The Hero's Youth

In the year 1937, John Ronald Reul began to write one of the most intriguing and fanatical book series’ ever created. J.R.R. Tolkien was forty-five years old when he began to write the Hobbit, A prequel to Lord of the Rings, Tolkien was born in 1892, and died in 1973, he was twice a professor of Anglo-Saxon at the University of Oxford in England. Tolkien was addicted to learning and writing about the Old English language and Anglo-Saxon topics. J.R.R. Tolkien based Fellowship of the Ring, on his personal life, English Ruins, and much of English literature. He got the idea of the dark and contrasting side of Sauron from the times when his home was being refurbished and during the time of the Industrial Revolution. World War I began in 1914,
