The backstory of LotR spreads several THOUSAND pages, not hundreds.

Lord of the Rings: An ancient well written fantasy series, and fairly epic at that. But more backstory than any other fantasy series? Bullshit. You can't say that one with a straight face, or without saying you have only read The Hobbit. Better than them, certainly, more backstory? Hell no.

Tolkien wrote backstory in the Middle-Earth universe that goes back thousands of years before the LoTR series. They were never even meant to be published (they were published by his son after he passed), he just wrote them to flesh out his universe. All said, his notes for the backstory come in at several hundred pages.

I don't know of another author who dedicated that kind of time and effort just to make his published novels seem more realistic and in-depth.

What Rocketpig said. Also see Silmarillion. The Lord of the Rings has a backstory comparable to the New Testament.

 Comparable to the whole Bible, really.
