Little John experienced lots of change in his life from a young age. Moving from South Africa to a big city in England, he longed for the nature he grew up around. After the death of both of his parents, John found comfort in telling stories and building imaginary worlds with his friends. He continued to tell stories for the rest of his life, creating epic tales of hobbits, dwarves, elves, and wizards as J.R.R. Tolkien. Stylish and quirky illustrations and a biographical timeline with historical photos and a detailed profile of the writer’s life make this book appealing to fans old and new.
