Christopher Tolkien to finish lost Middle Earth novel - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Apparently my copy is waitig for me ..but I couldn't resist a peek in Waterstones ....

Interestingly because I ordered the History of the Hobbit as well I am recommended to buy Mony Pythion Series " on DVD.... maybe it isn't a coincidence that so many DOwners like Python ,,but I winder why Series 2?

To get back on point, Adam Tolkien has translated the books of Lost tales so he seems like the logical choice - he is not just going to be a token Tokien-surnamed media friendly figurehead .....

As for the critics, I don't know if I am even going to bother reading them. I have a degree in literature, I know how criticism works and my love of Tolkien is almost separate from my love of other literature. I am just thrilled that I will have my favourite silmarillion story up together...
