Reviews

". . . the entries are extremely consistent in format . . . biographies also focus on their contributions to the development of their respective genres . . . Each volume provides young readers with information on its subject in a highly readable format. They would be a good choice for middle school and junior high school libraries."

VOYA, December 2004

". . . a solid introduction . . . Of particular interest may be the appended “In His Own Words” with Tolkien’s thoughts on his writings and their impact on a reader."

Children's Literature

"The boxed quotes used throughout both highlight the text and provide interesting tidbits of additional information . . . A thorough index, bibliography, glossary, timeline, and detailed chapter notes provide the needed authority for readers interested in facts as well as great stories."

Library Media Connection, February 2005

". . . Tolkien clearly goes a step beyond the typical series book, offering a more perceptive and more detailed, satisfying portrayal of its subject . . . A series worth watching."
