New Tolkien book to be published next month: report Sun Mar 25, 5:44 PM ET
LONDON (AFP) - An unfinished book by "Lord of the Rings" author J.R.R. Tolkien, which was completed by his son, will go on sale on next month, a newspaper said.
ADVERTISEMENT
"The Children of Hurin", which Tolkien began in 1918, will be in bookshops on April 17, the Independent on Sunday added. The author's son, Christopher, spent 30 years completing the story from the many drafts produced by his father.
Publisher HarperCollins is keeping exact details of the story under close wraps but its description as "an epic story of adventure, tragedy, fellowship and heroism" will be familiar to the legions of Tolkien fans.

I've heard people have been chomping at the bit for this movie action for a while.
The story of Turin and Tuor would be awesome.
P.S. Nerd here!! |

I see, so you live in a basement somewhere, wearing chain-mail, carry a blunted Axe-Hammer, waiting for your Game Master to show up. So you can use the word "smite" and "hitpoints" often. It's all clearer now. |
