For all Tolkien's global fame, the sources of the myth-maker's own myth-making have been neglected. Mark Atherton explores the chief influence on Tolkien's work, including his boyhood in the Midlands, the landscapes and seascapes which shaped his mythologies, his experiences in WW1, and his interest in Scandinavian myth.
