Chris T actually did it, the absolute madman!
>In this book Christopher Tolkien has attempted to extract the story of Beren and Lúthien from the comprehensive work in which it was embedded; but that story was itself changing as it developed new associations within the larger history. To show something of the process whereby this legend of Middle-earth evolved over the years, he has told the story in his father's own words by giving, first, its original form, and then passages in prose and verse from later texts that illustrate the narrative as it changed. Presented together for the first time, they reveal aspects of the story, both in event and in narrative immediacy, that were afterwards lost.

Children of Hurin was really great, imo the best workpublished under the name of J. R. R. Tolkien

Tolkien family will likely sell the license when Chris died ;_;

Cristopher hates Jackson and Hollywood. They will never touch his father's work again. And with the massive blunders that were the Hobbit movies, I doubt even Hollywood is so keen further pursuing the LOTR universe.

Does no one realize this is a meme cash grab. Muh immortal / mortal love story is just capitalizing on YA lit.

Are the illustrations new or just from Lee's previous work?

IIRC Luthien turns into a bat, and Beren a werewolf at one point. My God, it's going to be Twilight 2.0

The Children of Hurin was much longer, I really wonder how much material Chris Tolkien had to work with here.

Replace that with "Hollywood" and I agree.

Actually, this is one of my favorite stories (Creation of Ea and Valinor is number one), so I will definitely be buying this.

Quite a lot. Pick up Unfinished Tales, sometime. The almost the whole book was already written for him, one of JRR's more complete unfinished works
