He originally intended it to be published as one volume but his publishers convinced him to publish it in three volumes because of post war paper shortages and to keep the cost of the book down.

Maybe? :roll:

Tolkien's original plan for how the sequel to the Hobbit would end was that Bilbo would be married and have lots of children.

"He originally planned to write a story in which Bilbo had used up all his treasure and was looking for another adventure to gain more; however, he remembered the Ring and its powers and decided to write about that instead." - Wikipedia XD

I'm guessing he planned for some of the main characters to die? :roll: Could you give us a hint?

Yes it would end Bilbo destroying the ring but Gandalf would have died protecting him :(
Your turn

He died at the age of 102, six years before Frodo left the Shire.

I've got a riddle:

Dwelt in by little folk,
Held a precious store.
Captured by a beast,
But regained once more.
