Tolkien'a "Fall of Arthur" to be published: confirmed

[davem]

Grauniad has a piece on the publication - http://www.guardian.co.uk/books/2012...em-king-arthur

Here are the opening lines

"Arthur eastward in arms purposed
his war to wage on the wild marches,
over seas sailing to Saxon lands,
from the Roman realm ruin defending.
Thus the tides of time to turn backward
and the heathen to humble, his hope urged him,
that with harrying ships they should hunt no more
on the shining shores and shallow waters
of South Britain, booty seeking."
