Tolkien Jr. finishes Tolkien Sr.'s final Lord of the Rings book



Children of Hurin, the last book J.R.R. Tolkien began in the Lord of the Rings series, in 1971, has been finished and will be published next month. What? I don't know anything about Christopher Tolkien, but could the stakes be any higher? Is there a more beloved series than Lord of the Rings?

Here's another story from the old grey lady about Tolkien fans and Children of Hurin.

I wonder how the Tolkienites are taking this? Do we know if this supposed son has written anything in the past?
