Recently read a bio by Humphrey Carpenter that was published in 1976, three years after Tolkien's death. It is credited as the official bio. It was a pretty good read. Very insightful. It took him about 16 years to complete THE RING Series. The man loved the ancient languages of Old Norse, Anglo-Saxon, Welsh, Finnish.
By the way, September 2, 2013 was the 40th anniversary of Tolkien's passing.
Yours Aye,
Diane
