Watch that tong, there are dyslexics present.

The future of Tolkien may be interesting. I am looking forward to film versions of his other works, imagine a Roverandom film! Of course, films aside, the books themselves always have and we would hope always will spark an interest and spark the imagination of the world.
Even those who are not particularly fans of his work admit that he is a significant author who deserves respect amongst scholars of mythology and Anglo-Saxon. His essay on Feairy tales is remarkable and many have taken deep interest in feairy after reading it (I know I certainly did).

The more dedicated fans of Tolkien will most certainly continue! I know that the lecturer I will have the pleaser of being taught by next year at University is a Tolkien fan and scholar. I shall first have to discover his opinion on wings...
When one looks at the dramatisations of Tolkien's work: The Lord of the Rings, the Hobbit, Tales from the Perilous realm and others have been done by the BBC in particular. I like to imagine some of these becoming Television dramatisations at the least. (I say this because I once had a dream that BBC One was going to show a dramatization of Leaf by Niggle ).

Of course, if Malbeth the Seer were here, we might know all the better.
