Priscilla Tolkien is still alive. I hear that she's a regular attendant at annual Tolkien Society gatherings.
I'm not really interested in what Tolkien's family have to say about one another. I think that a family's internal problems are none of my business, no matter what the gutter press has to say about them.
Incidentally, Heren: I did go on strike for a while, but no-one seemed to notice. Perhaps if we did have a union it would be different.
