Tolkien's biography (real, not his works), in English and Russian
The Age of the Trees
This is a very sketchy Timeline. Suggestions
are welcome. The Years in this timeline, unless explicitly
mentioned, are in Tree Years: 1 Year of the Trees corresponds to
some 10 Years of the Sun (the exact number is in _Morgoth's Ring_)
Some of the dates are shown in intervals, for example
1120 ± 61. This means that
I've run a Monte-Carlo simulation with the Middle-earth data,
and this is the 95% confidence interval. In other words: just
my guess :-)
