Simon Tolkien
2 quotes
“It’s weird looking back that I was so certain I couldn’t write. Not fiction. At the time that I had that view, in my 20s and 30s, I didn’t think that it was because I was the grandson of J.R.R. Tolkien, although I think now that that was the reason. I don’t know what’s changed. I think it’s possibly confidence.”

“I was an only child and grew up in a cottage in the Oxfordshire countryside. I was thrown very much on my own resources which consisted of books, books and more books. I used to think I was very deprived by this experience but now I think the opposite. The books I read lying on my bed filled up my imagination and they are the fuel for my creativity now.”
