I just read Tolkien's second autobiographical allegory, Smith of Wootton Major, for the first time. If you've read it, we can share our ideas on the analogies to JRRT's life. I'm not quite ready to analyze it yet, though; my first reaction is purely emotional - tears for so much beauty, sadness and loss.
