Tolkien

Explore the formative years of the orphaned author as he finds friendship, love and artistic inspiration among a group of fellow outcasts at school. This takes him into the outbreak of World War I, which threatens to tear the “fellowship” apart. All of these experiences would inspire Tolkien to write his famous Middle-Earth novels.

“a sweet, often fantastical story about love, creativity, and friendship…an immersive journey into the past that gives you insights into both the creative pursuits of one of the world’s foremost authors as well as a touching and sometimes brutal look at war” (IGN)
