Christopher does something amazing in the Lost Tales and a few others of the histories, and i dont know if it is intentional or just a product of his style of writing, but every now and again, in an obscure annotation or note at the end he will just say in a very formal tone "connected to this is a note that says:" and it will be followed by something amazingly remote and ununderstandable such as "they awoke the sleeper in the tower of Valinor". It is wonderful.
