Tolkien (major works)

Tolkien had several major works throughout his career, including The Hobbit, The Lord of the Rings, The Adventures of Tom Bombadil, and the Silmarillion, (book titles from - http://home.earthlink.net/~dbratman/tolkien_bib.html). These were all major works and had one thing in common, Hobbits, elves and mystical creations of the imagination. The Hobbit introduces the big characters such as Bilbo Baggins and Gandolf, who serve great importance as the novels keep churning from the mind of J.R.R. Tolkien. The Lord of the Rings was the biggest success depicting the quest of Bilbo Baggins' heir, Frodo, to destroy the a very important and evil entity of a ring once and for all. The Adventures of Tom Bombadil were a series of poems and light verse that were supposedly written by educated Hobbits. The Silmarillion is supposedly the book the elves kept documentation of after meeting the Hobbits. These major works by Tolkien were a success in many ways considering the depth he offered into these stories.
