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?

Do you remember?

Far back in the mists of Time of early 2011, rumour spread that Peter Jackson was asking his fans to submit questions whilst the production on The Hobbit was underway. The director stated he would be going through the questions and answering 20 of them as filming took place.

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.

Psst! I’ve written my first book … The Trials of Sherlock Holmes

 

The excitement is unbearable.

Okay so it’s not Middle-earth related but I felt I had to share this news.

My love for the stories of Sherlock Holmes has been duly discussed in some of my posts here. Now I can finally reveal that my first ever book will be released on June 13th!

World War I Trenches – Diorama

Here goes another diorama video by the name of “Good Luck Lads!”.

This was made a few years ago and the connection with Tolkien is only too obvious.

Peter Jackson’s Lost Masterpiece

Crossing the Line

Exactly 9 years ago I beheld for the first time a 30-second clip.

After the initial screen display the text “extract from ‘Crossing the Line'”, several men came in view, dressed in period uniforms and huddled in a trench until receiving the order to prepare for attack.

The 30 seconds were gone and the screen faded to black. There soon appeared the words “written & directed by Peter Jackson”.
