Happy 70 years to The Hobbit
Just read on Wired that The Hobbit was first released 70 years ago today. That book and Tolkien’s world at large have captured my imagination since childhood. Couldn’t let this occasion pass without making note of it.
As the nostaliga set in, I found myself on Google, which led me to the official Tokien site. To my surprise, it’s showing a new release, The Children of Húrin! This is apparently from the first age of Middle Earth, the time prior to The Hobbit and The Lord of The Rings. Can’t wait to get a copy of this!
