I certainly agree with Estelyn. Humphry Carpenters work is outstanding - and he did have alot of help from Cristopher Tolkien on that book. If you like to know more about JRRT you might also want to read 'Letters by JRRT' which is a collection of more than 300 letters written by JRRT during all stages of his life. The letters are collected and commented by (again) Humphry Carpenter.
