Certainly! He wrote the two best fantasy books. The Hobbit and LOTR. Epic poems, timeles tales, treatises on human character, bold and imaginative.

The best 2 fantasy writers of all time IMO is Tolkien and then lagging way behind but still at number 2 is David Eddings.

I think Tolkein is the best, but there are a few that come a close second. But sadly due to my seive like brain, Their names elude me. Quelle suprise.

Tolkien is the best, but Robert Jordan is coming real close at the number one ranking

Tolkien first, I guess. Then Robert Jordan and - I'd say Terry Pratchett, but that's a different style of book.
