The Life of JRR Tolkien - Part 3: 1937 - 1949 (Lord of the Rings, World War II, and Fame) (Ep 225 Rerun)

Tolkien was born on January 3, 1892, so given we are in his birth month, we’ll be revisiting our four-part series on his life story over the next few Fridays. In this episode, we’ll revisit part three, as we examine the years from 1937 to 1949, as Tolkien struggles to surpass The Hobbit with a far more ambitious sequel while enduring the uncertainties of World War II in Great Britain.
