The Life and Times of Edith Tolkien

He became increasingly unhappy about the sudden popularity of his books. He and Edith moved to Born-Mooth, which was then a seaside resort that was mostly lived in by British upper middle class. There was one visit where he told me how much he missed my grandmother. It must have been very strange for him being alone after they'd been married for more than 50 years. According to Simon Tolkien, he said, my grandmother died two years before my grandfather, and he came back to live in Oxford. Isn't that nice?
