Summary
Explores the formative years of the renowned author's life as he finds friendship, courage, and inspiration among a fellow group of writers and artists at school. Their brotherhood strengthens as they grow up and weather love and loss together, including the author's tumultuous courtship of his beloved Edith Bratt, until the outbreak of the First World War, which threatens to tear their fellowship apart. All of these experiences would later inspire him to write his famous Middle-Earth novels.Additional Information
