2020 is definitely starting off on the wrong foot. First Neil and now this. It’s not like Christopher was his dad, but he is directly responsible for his dad’s other works being finally edited and published. We wouldn’t have the Silmarillion, Unfinished Tales, the recent Fall of Gondolin, and many many others.

I was surprised to learn Yesterday that Christopher had drawn all the maps in LOTR that I love so much. Craziness. He was also the main protector of the estate, so you can bet that the Tolkien legendarium is about to become supremely bastardized
