ATTENTION ALL AU-ERS!!!!
My mother has brought to my attention that just published this year, a new completed novel by J.R.R. Tolkien, edited by Christopher Tolkien, and illustraded by Alan Lee, called Children of Hurin.
It is a real book! I just reserved it from my library and here is the description from the library catalog:
[font=Arial, sans-serif]The first complete book by J.R.R. Tolkien in three decades--since the publication of The Silmarillion in 1977--The Children of Hurin reunites fans of The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings with Elves and Men, dragons and Dwarves, Eagles and Orcs. Presented for the first time as a complete, standalone story, this stirring narrative will appeal to casual fans and expert readers alike, returning them to the rich landscape and characters unique to Tolkien.[/font]
I can't wait to read it and I thought all of you should know too!
