Malcolm Lindley from ADC Publications Ltd sends along news about one of their publications ‘Black & White Ogre Country: The Lost Tales of Hilary Tolkien’ Edited by Angela Gardner, Illustrated by Jef Murray.
We have recently published the first of two books dealing with the world of Hilary Tolkien, brother to JRR (Ronald) Tolkien who created the world of Middle-earth, Hobbits and The Lord of the Rings. These brothers lost their father at very young age, and later, their mother as teenagers and naturally came to rely on each other a great deal. Continue reading “‘Black & White Ogre Country’ News”

From The Tolkien Society: Oxonmoot 2009, 25th – 27th September, Lady Margaret Hall, Oxford. A weekend of Talks and Papers, a fiendish quiz, an Art Show, Merry & Pippin’s Dance Workshop, a Dealers’Room, and Enyalië (act of remembrance at Tolkien’s grave). Oxonmoot is the special event of the Tolkien Society year held on a weekend close to Bilbo & Frodo’s birthdays. There is a range of activities such as academic talks & papers, workshops (see the Call for Papers below if you wish to offer something), new, second-hand and rare book dealers, an art show (with professional and amateur works), plus a quiet area where you can drink tea, fill up the corners and chat with old or new friends.

Keep in mind this is simply one person’s opinions but they are an interesting read by somebody who understands the law and can explain it simply. It starts, “New Line has now filed a motion for summary adjudication of the plaintiff’s cause of action seeking the right to terminate New Line’s future rights to make the Hobbit films (or other Tolkien films). In other words, they are asking to have that claim be dismissed entirely.” Continue reading “Big news regarding the Tolkien/New Line legalities”
