The Fall of Arthur

Thursday, May 23, 2013

Tolkien's excursion into the Arthurian Legend!

The Fall of Arthur, written by J.R.R. Tolkien and edited by his son, Christopher Tolkien, has only become available for purchase today! Tolkien had long grieved that there were hardly any myths and ancient legends associated with England, besides the legend of King Arthur. Masterfully using the Old English alliterative meter, Tolkien has brought us a new interpretation of the story of Arthur. Find more concerning this book on the Houghton Miffin Harcourt website, or order it directly from Amazon »

No hobbits! 

An awesome book shadowed by the glory of The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings. A fan-made trailer for a movie not in production. An actor who would like to play a younger Gandalf. And great grief because Christopher Tolkien refuses to sell its rights to The Silmarillion!
