Which author wrote The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings?

• A. Harriet Beecher Stowe
• B. Mark Twain
• C. J.R.R. Tolkien
• D. H.G. Wells

Answer: (C)

These two famous fantasy works come from one writer, J.R.R. Tolkien. Tolkien was a British author and scholar who created the richly imagined world of Middle-earth. The Hobbit, published in 1937, follows Bilbo Baggins on a quest with dwarves and a dragon. The Lord of the Rings, released in three volumes starting in 1954, expands that world into an epic journey to destroy the One Ring. The other authors listed wrote different famous works: Harriet Beecher Stowe wrote Uncle Tom's Cabin, Mark Twain wrote The Adventures of Tom Sawyer and Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, and H.G. Wells wrote science fiction like The Time Machine and The War of the Worlds. None of them wrote both The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings. So, the author is J.R.R. Tolkien.
