J. R. R. Tolkien
English writer, 1892-1973
"John Ronald Reuel Tolkien was an English writer, poet, philologist, and academic. He was the author of the classic high fantasy works ""The Hobbit"" and ""The Lord of the Rings"", serving as a Professor of English Language and Literature in Oxford until 1959. After Tolkien's death, his son published a series of works based on his father's extensive notes and unpublished manuscripts, including ""The Silmarillion"". These, together with ""The Hobbit"" and ""The Lord of the Rings"", form a connected body of tales, poems, fictional histories, invented languages, and literary essays about a fantasy world called Arda and Middle-earth. Tolkien is popularly identified as the ""father"" of high fantasy."

Scarce and beautifully penned letter from the revered Lord of the Rings creator Brief letter to Albert Wieland. In part: “I have much pleasure in sending you my signature, as you so courteously request.” In fine condition. Accompanied by the original mailing envelope and a few newspaper clippings. 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.
Typed letter signed.
