Ghost Prince of Cardolan

There are any number of the tales that are interesting and
bear rereading. Tuor's is quite enlightening but also frustrating...with the tale ending just as he enters Gondolin. His journey there has so many neat bits: his "chance" meeting with the two elves, his meeting with (Ulmo?), and his almost encounter with Turin. A continuation of the tale with his encounters with Maeglin and "Escape from Gondolin!" would have been fascinating. But then again there's the great elucidating on the Rohirrim organization and the Battles of the Fords of Isen. And the runup to TH "An Unexpected Party" with Gandalf's difficulty with Thorin. Also one other bit, it strikes me that the way JRRT presents both sides plusses and minuses in the Erendis/Aldarion disfunctional relationship is not unlike the various arguments for elves, men, dwarves (and a hobbit) to the treasure of Erebor after the slaying of Smaug.
