Well, tolkien, along with his friend Lewis was really the first person to write a real fantasy book. I think that is mainly because all previous fantasy was mythology, but of course his stuff was written too recently to be classed as mythology. Also he worked so hard - no one has ever put that much work into creating a world as far as I know (and he created SAM :-)
