Christopher Tolkien dead: Son of Lord of the Rings author JRR dies aged 95
Christopher Tolkien, the son of Lord Of The Rings author JRR Tolkien, has died aged 95, the Tolkien Society has said.
Christopher continued his father's work after his death and was an accomplished author in his own right.
He has been credited with keeping his father's legacy alive and without him readers enraptured by the stories of Middle Earth may not have had any more than the four novels from JRR.
The Tolkien Society said: "Christopher Tolkien has died at the age of 95. The Tolkien Society sends its deepest condolences to Baillie, Simon, Adam, Rachel and the whole Tolkien family."
Christopher was the third son of JRR, and edited most of his father's work which was released after his death.
He drew the famous original Lord of the Rings maps which decorated the books released across the 1950s after the success of the prequel, The Hobbitt. [sic]
The highly-detailed maps added to the sense of a complete mythical world of Middle Earth.

Regardless of what he did posthumously for JRRT, I still believe his single greatest contribution to the legendarium was the maps.

I always took the maps for granted. They played a big part in helping me visualize the world without me realizing it until now.Regardless of what he did posthumously for JRRT, I still believe his single greatest contribution to the legendarium was the maps.

I think I've mentioned before (probably several times lol) but a good friend of mine was responsible for the creative art design of the LOTR Extended Edition BluRays and whatnot. She had a group of maybe five or six friends who she leaned on as 'advisors' so to speak. She told us they were considering not including maps with the discs to save some cost, and we all practically had a collective heart attack.
We were supposed to have our names in the credits of the Fellowship release, but a week or so before finalizing the copy Peter Jackson promised that all the members of TheOneRing.net would get their names in the credits. There's only so much room for names, so our little group got bumped. Instead I got pre-production samples of the Argonath bookends that came with the super duper special edition BluRay. They have not fare well over the years, and are now both missing their hands and heads. Whoop.

I forgot about TheOneRing.net being in the credits. Following the release of the movies through that site brings me back.

Family has been passing around The Hobbit and reading it out loud in shifts and it's been glorious.
We watched fellowship last night and that may just be my favorite opening of any movie. After a while, my son looks at me and says, how come Sauron wasn't invisible at the beginning when he was wearing the ring? And I have no idea? Help!

Sauron was a Maiar. He did not move between the worlds of the Seen and Unseen. My guess is if Gandalf had taken the Ring and donned it, it would've had a similar non-effect
Also, the Ring did not make Tom Bombadil vanish when he put it on. But that's not shown in the movie, cos they wisely cut him out entirely.

This is a cool idea. Might have to tune in to some of it, just for the Gollum voice alone.

If he hits his goal of £100K, he will have a "surprise" for viewers...Trailer for the new LOTR? Or for the new Venom?

Dang, just read it to kids. That will be cool.
My 12yr old daughter had an assignment the other day discussing in 250 words what famous person you'd like to meet and how that would go. She did 3000 words on Gandalf and it was glorious.
