*is confused* But I thought that "The Children of Hurin" is the same as "Narn i Hîn Hûrin" in the Unfinished Tales. So why are they actually publishing it again, when everyone's read the Unfinished Tales anyway? Is it just me?
Not everyone has read Unfinished Tales. I think Christopher Tolkien wanted to publish it into a book of its own since it is, after all, the longest narrative Tolkien wrote from the First Age. And then there is the great motivator: money. *rolls eyes* Either way, I'm glad it was published...it's a good story.
