No, he didn't, it was Tuomas Holopainen from Nightwish who made that album, I have it on CD. But it isn't rock music, so I'm not sure it qualifies.

Brazilian band Recordando O Vale De Macas have a superb epic track "As Crincas da Nova Floresta" based on a children book 'Children of the New Forest".
