Tuor's story was probably too "up" for Tolkien's personality. Turin's tale (a definite downer) was much more in keeping with his general frame of mind, so he spent more time on it.

Well, that's probably not totally true... [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

The Sil needs more stuff about Dwarves. I mean, really, who wants to read all this stuff about *pshaw* Elves? [img]smilies/rolleyes.gif[/img] Yes, there must be more stuff about Dwarves. Like for example a definitive account of their early existence and social structure, followed by a through treatment of their subsequent migrations and the foundations of all their major kingdoms. Of course, all related activities, like settlement expansion and mining efforts, would have to be covered as well.

And there would be so much more room if all that dead weight about the pointy-eared tree huggers could be axed. [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

[P.S. For those of you who are now foaming at the mouth, I'm only kidding, sort of... [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img] ]
