In The Hobbit, Tolkien writes as though he was almost in the story.
Quote:
If you had heard only a quater of what I have heard about him, and I have only heard very little of all there is to hear, you would be prepared for any sort of remarkable tale.

See what I mean? He kind of wrote like Walter R. Brooks.(He wrote the Freddy the Pig books)
