I heard that the Tolkien Foundation had the letter of dismissal framed in their office and laugh about it when they can. Do not know if it is true but I would do the same.
The Fellowship of the Ring in my opinion contains the most beautiful words to describe places like the Shire which just come alive in my mind. I have been to the Shire without ever being in the Shire.
And Beren and Luthien and The Children of Hurin are the best fairy tales out there. And if you do not like fantasy than Leaf by Niggle is amazingly well written.
No dear Nobel Prize, this guy was and is a Master in Literature.
