Bill the barbarian Posted January 17, 2020 Share Posted January 17, 2020 Oh my god, the young child JRR Tolkien read to; Christopher, died today (?) according to the CBC Oh man, that one hit me. Tolkien used the stories that put young Chris to bed as the basis for The Hobbit. Man, tears and all. Hmm, well... it is hard to TYPE and see the keyboard that way... so i will stop for now.

Dethstrok9 Posted February 5, 2020 Share Posted February 5, 2020 Tolkien is one of my favorite writers, and if it wasn't for Christopher, I wouldn't have been able to read the Silmarillion... I'm sorry to hear he has passed away. 1 Quote -Voice of the Legion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sir_Godspeed Posted February 9, 2020 Share Posted February 9, 2020 The man had a huge impact on managing the Tolkien estate, editing unfinished material to as complete as possible forms, such as the Silmarillion, Children of Hurin, and more scholarly texts, and moreover keeping guard over the licenses to avoid some of the more crass offers. Absolutely indebted. Rest in peace, Christopher Tolkien. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill the barbarian Posted February 10, 2020 Author Share Posted February 10, 2020 (edited) Just watched Tolkien, great movie but I discovered as an old man I have become quite the crybaby. Yes, broke down again. No spoilers but I will say give it a watch. A delight for geeks! Quote In a hole in the ground there lived a hobbit, Not a nasty, dirty, wet hole...
