It reportedly takes place before the beginning of WWI, in which Tolkien served from 1916 to 1920. “The Hobbit” was published in 1937 and “The Lord of the Rings” in 1954 and 1955, in three parts. “The Lord of the Rings” was written between 1937 and 1949 and is one of the best-selling novels of all time. “The Hobbit” and “The Lord of the Rings” were the basis for the two film trilogies. Tolkien has been in the works since 2013.
