I found this just now on The Tolkien Library. It is a rare photograph of a Tolkien family gathering in September of 1955. From left to right: Edith (Mrs Tolkien), Mrs Cassidy, Hilary (Tolkien's younger brother), Fr John Tolkien (Tolkien's eldest son - interestingly, I have never in fact seen a photo of him), the Master himself, June, Angela and Tolkien's aunt (then aged 84) Jane.
The photo is printed in the recent book "Black & White Ogre Country".
ReplyDeleteArdamir, thanks for your comment. I have seen that book in Waterstones, but I don't have the money at the moment, even if I were interested. Most of my Tolkien books are by Ronald Tolkien himself.
