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

5.0

What a sweet introduction to Tolkien for children. It is very well done, with details that (I am somewhat ashamed to say) I didn't know about Tolkien, probably because I have never read a full biography of him, and that is probably because as my favorite author, in some ways, I am afraid to know more detail because it might de-mystify him some, and also some because of a sense of anticipation of someday reading multiple biographies of him. I am savoring that future reading, but for now, this was an excellent way, and beautifully illustrated, to introduce Jackson to Tolkien. May it be the first of many, many readings to him.
