The Independent reports that Christopher Tolkien has completed the widely anticipated Children Of Húrin, completing his father J.R.R. Tolkien’s work. Chris Crawshaw, chairman of the Tolkien Society, characterizes the work:
Tolkien saw his work as one long history of Middle Earth: from the beginning of creation to the end of the Third Age. The Children of Húrin is an early chapter in that bigger story.
I’m really looking forward to this latest Middle Earth tome, which is scheduled for release on April 17th; I’ve already preordered mine from amazon.com.
