Christopher Tolkien – The Last Goodbye (EN)
“And then it seemed to him that […] the grey rain-curtain turned all to silver glass and was rolled back, and he beheld white shores and beyond them a far green country under a swift sunrise.” (J.R.R. Tolkien, The Return of the King, The Grey Havens)
Christopher Tolkien passed away on 15th January. He was the third son of J.R.R. Tolkien, his literary heir and executor. He published 24 books by Tolkien after the death of his father, including Tolkien’s life’s work, “The Silmarillion”. Without Christopher Tolkien’s tireless work, Middle-earth would be a great deal smaller. An obituary.
