The Silmarillion

John Ronald Reuel Tolkien was an English writer, poet, philologist, and university professor who is best known for his high fantasy works The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings.

Tolkien was born on 3 January 1892 in Bloemfontein in the Orange Free State (now Free State Province in South Africa) to British parents. His father, Arthur Tolkien, was an bank manager, and his mother, Mabel Tolkien (née Suffield), was a former teacher. The couple had left England when Arthur was promoted to head the Bloemfontein office of the British bank for which he worked. Tolkien had one sister, Hilary Arthur Reuel, who was born on 17 February 1894. When Tolkien was three, the family moved to Sarehole (now in Hall Green), then a Worcestershire village, and when he was four, they moved to Moseley, a suburb of Birmingham.

In 1900, Arthur Tolkien died of rheumatic fever at the age of 36, leaving his wife, Mabel, with two young children to raise. Tolkien was then sent to live with his paternal grandparents, William (a former policeman) and Jane Tolkien, in a small cottage near Sare

The Silmarillion is a collection of J.R.R. Tolkien’s mythopoeic works, edited and published posthumously by his son Christopher Tolkien in 1977. It is considered a prequel to Tolkien’s The Lord of the Rings, and takes place in Middle-earth, the world inhabited by the characters of The Lord of the Rings. The Silmarillion tells the story of the First Age of Middle-earth, before the time of The Lord of the Rings, and introduces the characters and events that lay the groundwork for that story. The book is structured as a series of interconnected tales, with each chapter telling a different story. The Silmarillion is a complex and sometimes dark work, filled with tragedy and loss, but ultimately it is a story of hope and redemption.
