In a house in Oxford lived a remarkable man called J.R.R. Tolkien who told stories that thrilled the world. To this very day reader and film audiences are enjoying his magnificent epic The Lord Of The Rings, although everybody has heard of Tolkein's writing, very few people could tell you much about the man responsible for creating these best loved magical creatures that have become household names.
This programme will give you a real insight into the man behind the legend of The Lord Of The Rings and the people and places that shaped his unique literary genius. From the rolling English countryside to the sooty streets of industrial Birmingham, the dreaming spires of Oxford to the World War I trenches of the blood soaked Somme; this is the story of the quintessential English College Professor who made epic mythology and legend accessible to one and all.
