Do you mean LOTR Tolkien or someone else. Like Bob Tolkien or Jim Tolkien.

If you'd click the link and quit buffering your post count, you'd know.

I'm looking forward to it.

After wading through Christopher's intricate and exhaustive historical volumes on his father's work, this has to be more entertaining.

I love The Silmarillion and Unfinished Tales, but those books are not for the meek. It sounds like this will be more accessible to fans of LOTR.

Just got 'Tolkien Miscenllany' for my birthday and now I'm looking forward to this - thanks for the link 9thdoc.

I tried to read The Silmarillion, but couldn't make it through. Hopefully, he'll have an editor or at least a better one on this book.

Cool news Ninth. I've never read Tolkien's books, but I've watched to movies. I might have to get this one though. What's it about? It didn't seem to say in the article.

That article is all I've seen or heard about it. If he started writing it in 1918, it predates The Hobbit.

Yeah. Hey how come it took 30 years to finish it?

cool now maybe theyll make another movie where everything
walks for hours on end. Just like them trees even walked in LOTR.
