Righto, Saraphim. Personally, I cannot accept anyone but Christopher Tolkien in the number one slot. Without The Silmarillion and numerous subsequent publications he has provided, Tolkien's world would be much thinner - the bits and pieces of depth are hinted at in the tales of the Third Age, but we would have no idea just how deep, thorough, and ultimately enchanting Arda is.
