A unique ledger book of the German Lutheran School in the Savoy, which includes the autographs of the founders of the Tolkien dynasty in the UK, John Benjamin and Daniel Tolkien. John Benjamin (1807-1896) was the grandfather of J.R.R. Tolkien, writer of The Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit. The ledger gives a detailed account of the financial support offered to the school by the German and British Royal families, and other individuals, between 1769-1908. Futher images of this beautiful book are available on request. A veritable treasure trove and very rare opportunity for collectors of Tolkien and Royal memorabilia.
