Quote: Christopher Tolkien has spent the past 30 years working on "The Children of Hurin," an epic tale his father began in 1918 and later abandoned. Excerpts of "The Children of Hurin," which includes the elves and dwarves of Tolkien's "The Lord of the Rings" and other works, have been published before.
"It has seemed to me for a long time that there was a good case for presenting my father's long version of the legend of the 'Children of Hurin' as an independent work, between its own covers," Christopher Tolkien said in a statement. http://www.cnn.com/2006/SHOWBIZ/books/0 ... index.html For those of you that don't know, "The Children of Hurin" originally appeared in the text of the "Silmarilian" only very much abridged. One of the main characters, Turin, is probably my favourite character in all of Tolkien's writings. |

holy shit this is brilliant, no idea this was being published. Tuor is my favourite character I think, I really like the bit where Tuor and Turin pass each other by on his journey to Gondolin but don't recognise each other. |
