I've been chasing grace; Grace ain't so easily found One bad hand can devil a man, chase him and carry him down. I've got to get out of here, just give me One Good Year! |

I don't fully understand the attention payed to Turin. Sure, it's a tragedy, and truly powerful at times, but we've already seen longer versions of the tale.
How about some love for Beren?

You're right, that is possible. But in lieu of evidence to the contrary, I will assume the author of this article was speaking out of the correct orifice.

Wow, this is really cool news to me. Being a sucker for a good tragedy, I love the story of the Children of Hurin.
About whether or not the words are J.R.R. Tolkien's, here's an interview that the Spanish Tolkien Society had with Adam Tolkien. Apparently the writing is all good ol' Ronald. Interview with Adam Tolkien The interview is in English at the bottom of the page, by the way.
