VOICE OVER: Rebecca Brayton
English author and professor J. R. R. Tolkien first published “The Hobbit” in 1937. He followed the children's fantasy novel up with the “The Lord of the Rings,” which was published in 1954. Though it's actually one novel, its length caused it be to published in three volumes titled “The Fellowship of the Ring,” “The Two Towers” and “The Return of the King.” Thanks to its elements of high fantasy and adventure, it's become one of the most successful novels in history.
