I got an email today, that I can pre-order the latest book written by the ghost of JRR Tolkien through the mediumship of Christopher Tolkien — The Legend of Sigurd and Gudrun. It collects translations of “The Saga of the Völsungs” written while Tolkien was Professor of Anglo-Saxon at Oxford in the 1920s and ‘30s.

HarperCollins to publish “Sigurd”

HarperCollins will publish Tolkien’s reworking of “The Legend of Sigurd and Gudrún.” Tolkien took a number of stabs at epic poetry, although this collection apparently has the added benefit of being in English. This isn’t something that’s going to appeal to casual fans, though. Only superfans and students of Old Norse are going to be interested. Fortunately, I’m two for two!
