J.R.R. Tolkien’s The Lord of The Rings is only a small piece of a huge cake!
Tolkien began working on an epic in 1918 & later abandoned it, but his son Christopher Tolkien has been working on this tale for the past 30 years & has finished it at last!
U.S. and British publishers announced Monday, that The Children of Hurin will be published next spring.
Christopher Tolkien says about this work: 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.
Will Peter Jackson take this tale & turn it into a blockbuster like he did with The Lord of The Rings?
We have to wait & see!
