The Story of J. R. R. Tolkien
Before there was Middle-earth, there was a boy named John Ronald who kept looking for dragons.
As a child, John Ronald Tolkien found dragons in stories, games, and the corners of his imagination. When life became lonely or sad, those imagined creatures stayed with him. At school, among friends, and later during the Great War, he carried that fierce sense of wonder through difficult days.
This picture book biography introduces young readers to the boy who would grow up to create The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings. With lyrical storytelling and rich illustrations, John Ronald's Dragons explores how imagination can survive hardship, how stories can take root early, and how one writer's love of myth and magic helped shape a fantasy world loved by generations.
