When did "Tolkien's works" become The Hobbit and nothing else?  Lord of the Rings is definitely above most children for its depth, at least adolescent level but the target is definitely adults for its vocabulary range alone.  But the Silmarillion?  Children of Hûrin?  Those are most definitely not children's works, not by a long shot.  Those works definitely deal with mature themes.  Just because he is more restrained when it comes to graphicness doesn't make his work "children's" literature.

Hey man, stop putting words in my mouth. I know LotR is more mature than Hobbit, but as I've said he was starting off with the intent to make it another tale for children. Just that things got out of hand and he went with the flow, thankfully Again, I've never said his work is children's literature. It's not. Which doesn't change the fact that other books from other writers can be more mature, right? Or are you saying that it is impossible to be more mature than Tolkien? Seriously, just because there exist more mature books doesn't imply Tolkien is for kids only...

No but you seemed to be implying his books are oriented towards children.  Really, only one is.  And the others I mentioned can go toe to toe with most works out there in terms of handling big ideas and mature themes.  I just get tired of some people classifying Tolkien or other works as "not mature" just because series like the Witcher and Song of Ice and Fire are willing to be more graphic.  If that's not you, then my apologies.  I just detest that distorted idea of "maturity" that's going around, especially in gaming.
