"No one who gets a postgraduate degree in Hobbit Studies ever imagines
they’ll be sued by the Estate of J.R.R. Tolkien. I certainly didn’t
expect to wind up in court against Christopher Tolkien and his lawyers,
like Frodo Baggins facing down the Nazgûl on Weathertop. Little did I
know I was heading into a legal and scholarly Midgewater when I wrote
and published The Lord of the Rings: A New English Translation."

Absolutely brilliant!  Via Jay Gischer and Yonatan Zunger.

Share and enjoy,
