review:
'J.R.R. Tolkien' by Maria Isabel Sanchez Vegara with illustrations by Aaron Cushley is a picture book biography in the Little People, BIG DREAMS series.
John Ronald Reuel Tolkien was born in South Africa and then his family moved to England. His interest in inventing languages continued after his mother died and he went to King Edward's School. He made good friends there who later died in the Great War. He became famous after publishing 'The Hobbit,' a book he wrote for his children.
This is a lovely entry in the series and the lush illustrations are wonderful. The tragedy is there for older readers to find, but diminished for younger readers.
I received a review copy of this ebook from Quarto Publishing Group - Frances Lincoln Children's Books, and NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Thank you for allowing me to review this ebook.
