Yes, it's always a bit frustrating to see Tolkien being patronized by writers who couldn't lace his shoes. Grrr...

This actually amuses me a lot because about six months ago my sister (she's 15) wanted to write a proposal for a "Middle-Earth for Dummies" book [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]. This must be very new, because when she did a search she couldn't find that one was in print then. And if this guy doesn't even know about Haleth, I'm betting my sister might just have done a little better, at least on some chapters.
