John Ronald's Dragons: The Story of J. R. R. Tolkien by Caroline McAlister

5.0

Wonderful, wonderful illustrations accompany the story of the early to middle life of J.R.R. Tolkien. I loved learning of Tolkien's obsession with dragons all the way through his invention of Smaug. He led a very interesting life (full of loss!) and the additional notes at the end only added to his character. I very much enjoyed this picture book biography!
