I didn’t see a thread for this yet, so I figured I might as well post a heads up.
There’s a "new" book by Tolkien coming out tomorrow (April 17) called The Children of Hurin. From what I understand, its actually entirely written by JRR himself, Christopher Tolkien’s name is just on there because he assembled the book from all the scraps JRR left lying around his study, and corrected a few grammatical errors and other proofreading stuff.
Parts of the story have already appeared in the Silmarillion, but the parts in there compared to the new book are apparently on a level similar to the condensed version of LotR in Silmarillion to the full book.

Oh, yeah...should’ve mentioned this a while back.
I might be buying this one. I’ve already read "Narn I Har Hurin" from Unfinished Tales, and it was pretty good. That’s what this story is based off of. |
