Child of the 7th Age is a guest of Tom Bombadil.
I came up with this original notice from 2003. But this does not address what has happened since then: click here.

There's also this cryptic message from the Drout Blog in 2002-2003. Sound as if someone may have gotten bent out of shape: here.

Here is another link Drout refers to that leaves a bad taste in the mouth: here.

I would definitely like to see the translation published but I do understand why the family feels nervous when they get this kind of a public response.

Also from an early date....here is Drout's brief comparison of Heaney and Tolkien's translations: Heren Istarion. Also here on the discovery.
