My enfeebled but occasionally active grey matter was assaulted of late by a thought that belongs on this thread. With reference to the Narn I Hîn Húrin: although I wish CT had delayed and enlarged the publication and scope of the Silmarillion respectively, that is not what happened. However, in Unfinished Tales he missed out the passages that appeared already verbatim within his original Silmarillion. I understand that it would be inherently redundant to have reprinted the passages, yet part of me wishes it had been done so for I would love to read it as a whole, without flipping between books.
