Best Answer

J.R.R. Tolkien began working on what would later become "The Silmarillion," his complex and extensive legendarium, early in his writing career. The first draft of "The Silmarillion" was not completed in a traditional sense because Tolkien continually revised and expanded upon his work throughout his life. The stories and myths that make up "The Silmarillion" evolved over several decades.

Tolkien started working on some of the foundational stories in the early 1910s and continued to refine and expand them over the years. However, he never completed a final version of "The Silmarillion" during his lifetime. After Tolkien's death in 1973, his son Christopher Tolkien edited and compiled his father's writings to publish "The Silmarillion" posthumously in 1977.

Early in the 1930's. While he was grading term papers, he came upon a bank page. Absently, he wrote the famous words, "In a hole in the ground, there lived a hobbit."

The rest, as they say, is history.
