Summary: JRR Tolkien. Although JRR Tolkien is deceased, he has left a legacy far greater than can be appreciated. Along with the books he wrote, and the movies created in his name fans from across the globe have seen fit to make websites dedicated to Tolkien and his works.

"Tolkien (gave) ... some of Lewis' mannerisms to Treebeard, the ligneous leader of the tree-like Ents -- chiefly his booming voice and constant throat-clearing. And it's not too far a stretch to find a faint dig at Lewis' nonstop literary productivity when Tolkien has Treebeard describe Entish as 'a lovely language, but it takes a very long time to say anything in it, because we do not say anything in it unless it is worth taking a long time to say.'"   Laura Miller
