The Children of Hurin

CNN reports that Christopher Tolkien has yet edited another set of his father's notes into something 'publish-able'. 'The Children of Hurin' is edited from notes into a readable account and is due to be published in 2007. Fragments of it were apparently published in the many many sets of notes now available some years ago. It is amazing how he had been able to release volume after volume of his father's notes years after his father's death. 'The Book of Lost Tales I', 'The Book of Lost Tales II', 'The Lays of Beleriand', 'Unfinished Tales', 'Sauron Undefeated', 'The History of Middle Earth volumes 1, 2, 3' and more.

On another front, Brian Herbert and Kevin J. Anderson have announced the so-called final two books of the Dune saga. However, I think it is surely not the last we will see...
