Collins, because Allen & Unwin couldn't publish the Silmarillion and LotR in one; Collins said they were interested in doing so, but it never happened, and so A&U published in the end.

Yes, Allen & Unwin were reluctant to publish the Silm as well as LotR and Collins expressed an interest in publishing both. Then they had cold feet and Tolkien lost patience with them, returning to Allen & Unwin to have LotR published on the basis that one was better than none.

Kind of tragic one...
![]() When CS Lewis passed away, how did Tolkien descibe it, compared to other misfortunes in his life?

Olorin_TLA,
Do you mean this quote from his letter to his daughter Priscilla concerning th death of Lewis? "So far I have felt the normal feelings of a man of my age---like an old tree that is losingall its leaves one by one; this feels like an axe-blow near the roots." ~Child

Ah, sorry Estelyn, but Child (long time no see) has it!
Yeah, that's always been a touching comment to me, especially considering how they'd drifted apart over the years. ![]()
