When he was 4 years old, his father died and his family moved back to England. Tolkien graduated from Oxford University when he was 23 years old, and participated in World War Ⅰ. During the war, Tolkien suffered from “trench fever” and stayed in the hospital until the end of World War Ⅰ. It was during the days in the hospital that he began his writing career first. After the war, Tolkien became a linguist. He was an editor of the New English Dictionary of 1918－1920. However, he was more researching into Anglo­Saxon language which makes his extensive contacts in Britain and the Nordic spread all over the folklore (民间传说) and mythology (神话)． In 1937, Tolkien completed his first work The Hobbit. Although this was a fairy tale, it was also suitable for adults to read. Because of good sales, the publisher Allen & Unwin convinced Tolkien to write its sequel. This encouraged Tolkien to complete his most famous works the epic (史诗) trilogy The Lord of the Rings. The works of writing went on for almost a year with the support from his good friend Lewis.

The Lord of the Rings was one of the most popular literary works in the 20th century in terms of sales and readers' evaluation.
