LOTR spin-off books?

[Hookbill the Goomba]

If I'm honest, I was actually thinking more of Silm than HoME. But I felt it may be an interesting comment. I have actually heard some that say Silm should be counted as THE History of Middle earth... I'm not sure about that.

Back on topic.

Child, I have also heard of such stories published in book form in Russia. I have never seen them, but I heard tell of them. They apparently tell the tale of Legolas and Gimli, and give rise to the belief that Gimli sailed to valinor. Of course this could all be a load of rubbish, but the possibility is there. If they do exist I would not be surprised if it was not long before the estate thrust the heavy fist of the law down their throat.
