“I am in fact a Hobbit (in all but size). I like gardens, trees and unmechanized farmlands; I smoke a pipe, and like good plain food … I am fond of mushrooms (out of a field); have a very simple sense of humour (which even my appreciative critics find tiresome); I go to bed late and get up late (when possible).” This is how J.R.R. Tolkien, the “father” of high fantasy, once described himself! His works The Hobbit (1937) and The Lord of The Rings (1954-55) gained cult status in a short time! He was a man of linguistic genius and a devout Catholic, whose boundless imagination and strong faith allowed him to invent a world in which fantasy and imagination meet.
