Thanks for ping - well, guess that will be a late summer read opportunity. Looking forward to it.
Now for the Hobbit Movie...
I second that!! I am glad Christopher is continuing Tolkien's legacy, but I do wish MORE were written about the hobbits. I know Tolkien had begun piecing together a story that took place a generation or two after LOTR - I would have liked to have known if any of Sam's or Pippin's grandchildren were involved.
