Here you can find transcripts of all the LotR films, Middle
Earth Fonts, Middle Earth Genealogy charts, Middle Earth Fan Fiction,

|
Jan 03, 2009 - 8:58 PM - by Tigger

Today is the Birthday of Professor J.R.R. Tolkien, who without him and his incredable creation of Middle-earth and all of its wonderful and various inhabitants, the world would be a lesser place. In honour of his birthday, The Tolkien Society is once again reminding us of the Annual Birthday Toast.
At 9pm in your time zone, take the drink of your choice, raise it high and say, "To The Professor!!"
More information can be found at The Tolkien Society : 2009 Birthday Toast

TORN managed to get an interview with Guillermo del Toro. He talks a bit about the process of writing the Hobbit, but politely and humorously manages to avoid giving away anything important. A nice read.
Read part 1 here
Part 2 will be added as soon as we get it.

Pauline Baynes, the illustrator who collaborated with Tolkien in various books, has died aged 85. She is best known for her illustration of CS Lewis' Narnia Tales, but she was also a friend of JRR Tolkien, providing drawings for Farmer Giles of Ham, The Adventures of Tom Bombadil, Smith of Wootton Major and, after the author's death, Leaf by Niggle and Bilbo's Last Song.
Read Brian Sibley's obituary in the UK Independent, and his blog entry with illustrations is here.
