Writing to Christopher Tolkien
 
Does anybody know the proper address to write to CT?

Sorry he does not use that name for official means... so you will not be able to track him through telephonebooks, etc.
The only thing you can do is write to HarperCollins and ask them to pass your questions to him, or go to www.tolkienestate.com and fill in the contact form. You will normally receive a reply by a Tolkien family representative, if you are lucky even by Adam Tolkien.
By the way, he lives in France, that is no secret... and Priscilla normally lives in Oxford...
This was stolen from Yahoo when I googled it, hope it helps :D

I'm not sure you'd get his proper address, what with all the crazy accusations on the net about him having wild boar and that in his grounds...but you can write to him via either the estate or via Harper Collins publishers - both of these should come up from a bit of googling!

Can't say I'd blame him either, he must be driven even more demented by fans than JRR ever was. In his case both ways, i.e. fans of JRR with grudges against him, as well as regular fans.

Pity - I for one would like to let him know that I admire and respect what he's done, and also that I think he did a damn fine job with The Ruin of Doriath, but that's a topic for another time.

Why not drop a letter to him via Harper Collins? I'm sure he'd appreciate the interest - and he can't possibly get as many letters as his father did. Plus if it's not asking him for something (as I'm sure most of his letters must be) but instead offering some good old feedback and praise then it would be even more appreciated.
