John Ronald Reuel Tolkien was a very imaginative author. It all began in the earlier days of his life. He then went on to become a very accomplished author and well respected. Last, his books had and still have a huge influence on our society. J.R.R. Tolkien obtained his love for writing from his mother.
First, J.R.R. Tolkien was the first-born son of Arthur and Mabel Suffield Tolkien. Tolkien was born on January 3, 1892, in Bloemfontein, South Africa. A servant of young Tolkien's parents once kidnapped Tolkien because the servant wanted to his friends a white baby. The servant ended up giving his son the middle name "Mister Tolkein" as an apology for kidnapping the young child (Tolkien 17). His father was a bank manager and died when Tolkien was four years old (Masterplots). He then moved to a town near Birmingham, England with his mother and his brother.
