Tolkien's Literary Executor - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

I read an article once that Tolkien complained to his wife that Christopher would call him on things in the story such as the color of one of the Dwarves' hoods and such things as that as he built the story, calling him that 'dratted boy'. It makes since then to have Christopher edit and complete his father's works-at least to me. I do wonder who'll take the reins next though-does have me worried.
