Some authors should never read their own works.

Others should never let anyone else read them.

J. R. R. Tolkien was in the latter group.

There is an interesting article about why there is no such thing as "children's literature" and a recording of Tolkien reading a passage from The Hobbit introducing us to Gollum at the link.
