7 b
ABOUT THE BOOKThe New York Times writes that while grading papers, Tolkien wrote the opening line of The Hobbit at the top of one of the exams. He then had to write the book to discover exactly what a "e;hobbit"e; was. (J. R. R. Tolkien Dead at 81; Wrote 'The Lord of the Rings')Tolkien began writing The Hobbit in 1937 and found encouragement from meetings with friends, C. S. Lewis and Charles Williams; this group of writers met in pubs around Oxford and called themselves "e;The Inklings."e; (J. R. R. Tolkien Dead at 81; Wrote 'The Lord of the Rings')He created a world called Middle Earth and filled it with its own language, creatures, and history. The inspiration for his imagined world springs from his childhood in Sarehole, a small village near Birmingham. In an interview with the New York Times, Tolkien said that the hobbits have some of the characteristics of Sarehole people: "e;gentle amblers, not really fond of adventures but very fond of their food."e; (The Prevalence of Hobbits).
