===Quick facts about Tolkien === Sam + Frodo 16:12, May 10, 2012 (UTC)
 * Countless people know the name J.R.R. Tolkien but do not know what the initials stand for. His full name is John Ronald Reuel Tolkien.
 * Did you know that Tolkien was born in Bloemfontein, South Africa but that along with his mother Mabel, and his younger brother Hilary, Ronald (as his family and friends called him when he was a child) moved to England when he was four?
 * Tolkien encouraged his close friend C.S. Lewis to return to Christianity. Lewis' return to the Anglican Church was a mixed blessing for Tolkien because he was a thoroughgoing Catholic.
