Adam Tolkien on CoH

On the Reviews section 'From the Publisher'

http://www.amazon.co.uk/Children-Hur...ion/0007246226

Found via Tolkien Gateway. VVV interesting...

And I've just got an email from Amazon that my copy of CoH has been despatched

EDIT:

What are we to make of Adam's comments here:

Quote:
Alan was commissioned in 1990 to create the
first-ever illustrated edition of The Lord of the Rings to mark Tolkien's
Centenary, and his 50 watercolour paintings were to prove more influential
than anyone could possibly have imagined, as Alan then spent five years in
New Zealand working as conceptual designer with John Howe for the Peter
Jackson trilogy.

Quote:
(It might be compared to a sort of literary
Director's Cut, the long version of the story assembled from all the best
footage available, though my father probably wouldn't welcome the
filmmaking comparison!
)
Obviously the family are at war again over the movies
