What was J.R.R Tolkien's favorite book?

Answer 1

He could read by the age of four, and could write fluently soon afterwards. His mother allowed him to read many books. He disliked Treasure Island and The Pied Piper, and thought Alice's Adventures in Wonderland by Lewis Carroll was amusing but disturbing. He liked stories about "Red Indians" and the fantasy works by George MacDonald.[14] In addition, the "Fairy Books" of Andrew Lang were particularly important to him and their influence is apparent in some of his later writings :) hope this helps :)

Answer 2

His favorite book was The Silmarillion. However he never finished it during his life. We will never know how it was supposed to look like, but it was his first work on Middle-earth and he worked on it till the end of his life. Tolkien regarded it as the most important of his works, seeing in its tales the genesis of Middle-earth and later events as told in The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings. He renewed work on The Silmarillion after completing The Lord of the Rings, when he greatly desired to publish the two works together. But when it became clear that would not be possible, Tolkien turned his full attention back to preparing The Lord of the Rings for publication. But most of us are certain that the one book Tolkien desired to write and saw as his favourite was The Silmarillion.
