From thebookseller.com<\/a><\/strong>: HarperCollins is to publish a new book by the late Lord of the Rings author J R R Tolkien. The Legend of Sigurd and Gudr\u00fan, edited and introduced by Tolkien\u2019s son Christopher, will be published in hardback in May 2009. The previously unpublished work was written while Tolkien was professor of Anglo-Saxon at Oxford University during the 1920s and ’30s, before he wrote The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings. The publication will make available for the first time Tolkien\u2019s extensive retelling in English narrative verse of the epic Norse tales of Sigurd the V\u00f6lsung and the Fall of the Niflungs. Christopher Tolkien edited Tolkien’s most recent title The Children of H\u00farin in 2007.
