Celebriel wants Ringers in the UK (or elsewhere) to know that there’s a sale of Tolkien’s furniture this Saturday and Sunday in Branksome in Dorset. Stephen Frankel, current owner of the bungalow in which the Lord of the Rings author retired, is selling off the contents of the home before it is bulldozed.

Click for the PresentationIf you missed attending DragonCon, then you missed TheOneRing.net’s wrap-up of what is happening with the live-action film version of ‘The Hobbit.’ We’ve gone ahead and exported our presentation into a web format so you can take a look at what we showed the audience in Atlanta, GA last weekend. Please note, there is no commentary accompanying this presentation (which is semi-critical at times) and there are definitely some hiccups with how the presentation exported – but you’ll get the hang of it! If you would like to discuss the presentation with fellow Tolkien fans, jump on over to our brand new forums or online chat! [View the Presentation] [Discuss in our Forum] [Discuss in Java Chat]
