Answer

At the age of nine, Tolkien first aspired to become a writer. He was inspired by the works of George MacDonald, whom he had read at his father's library. Tolkien's early work was influenced by the fantasy stories of William Morris, and by the mythology and legends of the British Isles. He began writing his own stories at a young age, and he continued to write throughout his life.
