J R R Tolkien, born 3rd January 1892. Would that make him twelvety-one...?
 
:rose: he changed the way we read and write fiction. He created a model for world building that will influence generations of storytellers.
 
True, but his female leads sucked. Nothing against J.R.R., but I prefer Moorcock over him any day of the week :)

What female leads? There weren't any. :rolleyes:

That's a problem that he bequeathed to modern fantasy as well. Moorcock, and Gaiman, have surmounted it more or less, and there are less well-known writers around who've done even better.
