Lotr Question!

Recommended Posts

this was made by Jrr or by another author?

Silmarillion was written by JRR Tolkien, actually before he wrote LOTR. It was more of a hobby for him- he was fascinated by the cultures of Middle Earth, so he started creating and writing down all the legends and history. He tried to submit it for publication, but the editors thought it was too complex. (They wanted another "story about hobbits" to follow up on the success of The Hobbit) So Tolkien set Silmarillion aside and wrote LOTR.

After Tolkien died, his son Christopher collected all of his father's unfinished works and published Silmarillion.

Sorry.. I just got done writing a term paper about Tolkien. :nerd: :book: :gradtalk:
