Obviously no introduction needed here, and of course Tolkien's grave is the most searched for one in the cemetery, several signs pointing the way to it. Tolkien's book Beren and Lúthien is to be published by their son Christopher in 2017.

The plaque on Tolkien's former home at 20 Northmoor Road, north Oxford, states that he lived here from 1930 to 1947.
