J. R. R. Tolkien
Schriftsteller, 1892-1973
John Ronald Reuel Tolkien war ein britischer Schriftsteller und Philologe. Sein Roman “Der Herr der Ringe” (“The Lord of the Rings”, 1954/55, auf Deutsch erschienen 1969/70) ist eines der erfolgreichsten Bücher des 20. Jahrhunderts und gilt als grundlegendes Werk für die moderne Fantasy-Literatur. Tolkien, später Professor für englische Sprache an der Universität Oxford, hatte seit seiner Jugend an einer eigenen Mythologie gearbeitet, die auf eigens konstruierten Sprachen basierte und erst postum unter dem Titel „Das Silmarillion“ erschien. Sowohl „Der Herr der Ringe“ als auch das erfolgreiche Kinderbuch „Der Hobbit“ (1937) spielen in dieser von Tolkien erfundenen Welt.

A letter to Timothy J. Wheeler, founding publisher of "Rally," declining an invitation to write for the magazine. He writes, in part: "I hope you will not think that I am ungrateful for your attention and good wishes if I say that I do not feel able to write anything such as you wish. I do wish you well, but I do not think that it would really do you much good to have special good wishes from me." Signed, "J.R.R. Tolkien." Accompanied by the original transmittal envelope. Wheeler had written to Tolkien in hopes of retaining him to write for the magazine or doing an interview, both of which Tolkien declined.
So instead, Wheeler included a profile of Tolkien focusing on The Lord of the Rings. Included with the lot is the original portrait of Tolkien commissioned for the article (charcoal pencil on illustration board measuring 11 x 16 1/4 inches), a copy of "Rally" magazine for the month of August 1966 featuring the article, a retained typed carbon of Wheeler's letter sending Tolkien a copy of the magazine, and a typed letter from Tolkien signed in type and initialed by his secretary acknowledging receipt of the magazine. Tolkien letter has a single horizontal mail fold, and slight toning at the edges. Envelope has been torn open, with loss at top and heavy toning. Drawing has bumped corners and toning, with pencil annotation at bottom right corner. Retained carbon has tearing, paper loss, creasing, and traces of red ink along left. Secretarially initialed letter has a single fold, and its accompanying envelope has been torn open at top..

Scarce and beautifully penned letter from the revered Lord of the Rings creator Brief letter to Albert Wieland.

The year 1967 marked the publication of Tolkien’s short story ‘Smith of Wootton Major,’ the last of his work to be published during his lifetime. Anything written in Tolkien’s famous calligraphy is supremely desirable.
