Christopher Tolkien to finish lost Middle Earth novel

[lindil]

maglor:

I'm wondering (though certainly not complaining) from whence came this wealth of material that comprises a narrative of, by my count, approximately 227 pages when the Narn clocks in at fewer than 100.

I recall from UT notes that CJRT said something to the effect of: " most of the Silmarillion versions of the tale of turin, where compressed from the UT length versions. So every time he sends you back to the Silm in the UT footnotes, that should all be inculded now in non-compressed form.

He may have found new material- post HoME XII.

just finished looking at the info on Amazon.uk. CJRT's process sounds like it was a close cousin to our own methods in TFTE forums.

Hopefully there are more 'final edition' Silm chapters on the way.
