Christopher Tolkien to finish lost Middle Earth novel - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Such a good article marred by such a sloppy error - entirely typical of AN Wilson. High wages and adulation do that to a writer...

Christopher Lee is such a good choice - wonderful voice and a genuine Tolkien fan.

Interview on RTE radio - couple of Tolkien 'experts' getting stuff wrong, clip from the movie, clip of Tolkien & even some of Leonard Nimoy's Ballad of Bilbo Baggins...

The AN Wilson article - loved it, but a sloppy error, indeed.

May not be his fault though, could be the sub-editors. Even if Wilson had made the error, the subs should really have picked it up, anyway. *Tsk* What is the Telegraph coming to.
