hardly rushed or ill-concieved is it?

How old is he? ..Hardly for the money or the fame ...

Tis, in like to his father, for the joy of it.

30 years ...we are not talking Mills and Boon here for F's sake.

Poppycock!! say I to the lovely Rosie ....Poppycock me dear!

30 years, yes. Maybe he procrastinates....

You're right; thirty years isn't something to be sneezed at.

I don't fully understand the attention payed to Turin. Sure, it's a tragedy, and truly powerful at times, but we've already seen longer versions of the tale.

How about some love for Beren?

Don't stand corrected yet - WHO was that quote from? Anyone can say Tolkien "abandoned" a work! Perhaps the person that used that word thinks that it was Arwen that helped Frodo at the Ford ...

You're right, that is possible. But in lieu of evidence to the contrary, I will assume the author of this article was speaking out of the correct orifice.

Wow, this is really cool news to me. Being a sucker for a good tragedy, I love the story of the Children of Hurin.

About whether or not the words are J.R.R. Tolkien's, here's an interview that the Spanish Tolkien Society had with Adam Tolkien. Apparently the writing is all good ol' Ronald.

The interview is in English at the bottom of the page, by the way.
