I believe the biggest errors in regards to any of Tolkien's works, are the movies by Peter Jackson.
I wish the film rights were never sold.  |
Unfortunately the Tax regime at the time meant that Tolkien was liable for a tax rate of up to 136% on accruals basis..ie that he might have to pay over a third over what he had actually earnt before he received the cash due to a surcharge and supertax. Sadly at that point he probably really did need the cash.
