Just noticed on Amazon.co.uk that there is now cover artwork for the new Tolkien book - The Legend of Sigurd and Gudrun based on work did around the Niflung poem in the 1920's-1930's. An eagerly awaited publishing event for all Tolkien lovers! I'm sure I will be reading my deluxe edition just in time for the broadcast of Wagner's Ring Cycle from the Metropolitan Opera!
Sounds interesting. This is the first I've heard about this new Tolkien book with a retelling of old Norse tales. Maybe I'll have to look for it.
