Tolkien’s son finishes ‘Hurin’
An unfinished tale by J.R.R. Tolkien has been edited by his son into a completed work and will be released next spring, the U.S. and British publishers announced Monday.
Christopher Tolkien has spent the last 30 years working on “The Children of Hurin,” an epic tale his father began in 1918 and later abandoned. Excerpts of the work, which includes the elves and dwarfs of Tolkien’s “The Lord of the Rings” and other works, have been published before.
The new book will be published by Houghton Mifflin in the United States and HarperCollins in England.
