Introducing Children to Tolkien

[Lalaith_Elf]

I first read the Hobbit when I was 7 or 8. Though I wish I had read it at an earlier age.
My parents would have probably wanted me to read it at an earlier age. They always go on about how young the kids read it in Tolkien's day. But they never forced me to read it, they just told me about it when I was young and let me come to it when I wanted too. I then started to read LotR's when I was 9. And I couldn't put either of them down.
