G.B. Smith is best known for his close friendship with J.R.R. Tolkien, who would go on to write the fantasy epic The Lord of the Rings. He was a talented poet and attended Oxford.

After his death, this volume of his poetry was published by Tolkien and dedicated to Smith's mother. - Summary by Devorah Allen
