Tolkien Collection | Closer Look – The Tolkien Treasury

Hullo folks!

Here is my second video on as we take a closer look to my Tolkien Book Collection.

The Fall of Gondolin to be released in August 2018

Well, it is now official.

In a statement made this morning on the J.R.R. Tolkien Official Facebook page, it was announced that The Fall of Gondolin, written by J.R.R. Tolkien and edited by Christopher Tolkien, will be published on August 30, 2018.

Tolkien “big announcement” coming tomorrow!

The Official J.R.R. Tolkien Facebook page has said that a “big announcement” will be made sometime tomorrow.

They have also included the above tantalising picture in the post.

Are we looking at a New Tolkien Book on The Fall of Gondolin?

I deliberately withheld writing about this news at any point yesterday, as the annual pranking event of April Fool’s took over the internet.

In order to ensure this was no typical joke, the rumoured whispers from distant shores seem to have declared the potential release of a “Tolkien Book” in August this year.

The Hobbit: Six years on … Where are those 20 questions?

Nostalgia for The Hobbit

It happened … again.

It’s been ages since I’ve seen any films from both Middle-earth trilogies and I’m starting to experience some side-effects from it.

Today I happened to come across the ‘Ironfoot’ track from The Battle of the Five Armies soundtrack. It brought back some strong feelings of nostalgia for The Hobbit.
