“Many children make up, or begin to make up, imaginary languages. I have been at it since I could write.” — J. R. R. Tolkien

Few writers have captured the hearts and imaginations of millions like J. R. R. Tolkien, C. S. Lewis, and George MacDonald have. They forged the way to fantastical worlds while teaching lessons about good and evil, selflessness and pride, bravery and cowardice.
