J. R. R. Tolkien: Architect of Middle Earth von Daniel Grotta

Do not bother with this book. Any value it might once have had has evaporated with the very great increase in our knowledge of Tolkien's life and work.

J.R.R. Tolkien Architect of Middle Earth von Daniel Grotta

Did you know Tolkien was born in South Africa and kidnapped as a child? An interesting look at the life of one of the last centuries great writers.

J.R.R. Tolkien : architect of middle Earth von Daniel Grotta

Good biographical information on Tolkien without getting bogged down in minutiae. The book is less stellar when it comes to literary analysis, as the book was written without a lot of information from the posthumous works.

Honor: A Black Bear, Pennsylvania Story von Daniel Grotta

Honor (Black Bear, Pennsylvania), a novella by Daniel Grotta, is the story of Jeff Smith. He is a widower who lives a quiet life with his two children. He works in his father-in-law's business and is constantly bullied by his brother-in-law . On the surface there is nothing remarkable about Jeff.
