 Many of Tolkien’s books started as bedtime stories for his four children: John, Michael, Christopher and Priscilla. A ①indifferent father, Tolkien drew elegant pictures for his children when they were young and wrote frequent letters to them as adults. Tolkien began working on the ②manuscript that became the Hobbit in the early 1930s. That book was so successful upon its 1937 publication that Tolkien’s publishers ③encouraged him to write more stories about hobbits, whom he describes as short, gentle people who live in holes underground. These ④subsequent tales became the Lord of the Rings, which was published in three volumes between July 1954 and October 1955 and quickly became one of the most famous English-language fantasy series in modern history. More than 150 million copies of the trilogy, which has been ⑤translated into dozens of languages, have been sold to date.
