The Lord of the Rings

Tolkien was Professor of English Language and Literature at Merton College, Oxford. Influences on the story of The Lord of the Rings include... Judas Priest. And Black Sabbath. He loves Aussie Osborn. We've got the Osborns episode in the works coming up. But he's made influence into modern fantasy as well. People have taken a lot out of it. It is one of the best-selling novels ever written with over 150 million copies sold.
