Did Nicholas mother inspire any of the books?
J.R.R. Tolkien's mother, Mabel Suffield, was a great lover of languages and stories, and she inspired her son's love of reading and writing from a young age. She encouraged him to write his own stories and poems, and would often read to him from her favorite books. Tolkien also drew inspiration from his childhood experiences in the countryside, and his love of nature is evident in many of his works.
