Seems like we just got Tales From The Perilous Realm, The History of The Hobbit, and The Children of Hurin. Okay, we did just have a pretty good Tolkien year.
But the Tolkien fun isn't over yet. It seems that during the 1920s Tolkien wrote down the story of Sigurd and Gudrun in English. Now word is that the book will be published in May 2009.
You can read more about it in this Tolkien Studies Blog post. I was able to look up some information about the manuscript and the story behind it.
Actually, many of us are familiar with the story of Sigurd, which has been published in many forms (it has also inspired at least one movie I'm aware of). It will be interesting to see Tolkien's take on the legend.
Feel free to drop by the Tolkien Forum at SF-Fandom and share your thoughts about the story.
