UNFINISHED TOLKIEN BOOK COMPLETED BY SON
THE LORD OF THE RINGS author JRR TOLKIEN is to have an uncompleted book published posthumously, thanks to his creative son.
CHRISTOPHER TOLKIEN has spent 30 years finishing fantasy tale THE CHILDREN OF HURIN, which his father began in 1918.
Extracts from the story have already been published but never as a completed work.
Christopher says of next year’s (07) planned release, "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." Tolkien died in 1973, aged 81. Director PETER JACKSON turned The Lord Of The Rings trilogy of books into acclaimed movies, with final installment THE RETURN OF THE KING dominating the 2004 Academy Awards.
