Citation :TL. May seems to be the big Tolkien month, with the release of the previously unpublished "The Legend of Sigurd and Gudrun". Was this book edited by Christopher Tolkien on his own, or did he have any help from Adam Tolkien?
DB. Adam Tolkien has not been involved in the writing of this book, though he is working once again behind the scenes on other matters.
TL. Will there be made just a hardback, or do you think there will be enough interest to also release a 'special' edition or a 'deluxe edition?
DB. As for The Children of Hurin, there will be a hardback edition, a deluxe edition, a leatherbound edition, and an audiobook. Specifications and dates for each of these will be revealed shortly. There will not be a large print edition, but there may be something else instead...
TL. Will the book be illustrated and if so... Is it John Howe who will do the honors?
DB. This is not an illustrated book in the Alan Lee style, but the book has a small number of decorative illustrations by an artist called Bill Sanderson, which are historically appropriate and very striking.
"[Faerie] represents love: that is, a love and respect for all things, 'inanimate' and 'animate', an unpossessive love of them as 'other'."
