'New' Tolkien story to be published


See http://www.telegraph.co.uk/books/authors/tolkien-unfinished-story-of-kullervo-published-august/

"What a tale we've been in, Mr. Frodo, haven't we? ... I wish I could hear it told! Do you think they'll say: Now comes the story of Nine-Fingered Frodo and the Ring of Doom? And then everyone will hush, just like we did, when in Rivendell they told us the tale of Beren One-hand and the Great Jewel. I wish I could hear it! And I wonder how it will go on after our part."

J.R.R. Tolkien, The Lord of the Rings: the Return of the King (London: Harper Collins, 1996), 986-7.
