a: Middle Earth ~
b: mythological past for England
What:
"I recall hearing that Tolkien grew up and lived in both South Africa and England (anywhere else?), and considering that Middle-earth is like a mythological past for England, I'm not surprised at all that he would use his own experiences with the land as a basis for what he wrote. The Shire does feel very English-like, in a way"
