Christopher Tolkien to finish lost Middle Earth novel

[Child of the 7th Age]

Lalwende,

Thanks for Adam's words on the BBC news site. That is a great link and a great quote, if only people will read it carefully. It is a beautiful answer to a lot of "garbage" that was floating around the internet in terms of the family's supposed reaction to the films.

The more I hear from Adam, the more I am impressed. I am wondering this. It seems as if Adam is featured more and more prominently in recent press releases, interviews, etc. from the Estate. As an assistant editor, he is also getting experience in working with the family's manuscripts. Can we assume that the family is planning on putting Adam in a position similar to that which Christopher presently occupies on the sad die that the older generation passes away? Is it possible that he will be given the blessing even to do limited releases of material or make decisions such as when and if the Beowulf papers will be made public?

One last word....thanks everyone for posting the news as I would never have time to search out these links. And a special thanks to you and davem for giving so much time and effort to this. It's been a joy.
