LONDON, Sept. 19 (UPI) -- Author J.R.R. Tolkien's unfinished book, "The Children of Hurin" has been finished by his son, Christopher, and will be published in 2007.
Tolkien's son has spent the last 30 years touching up and finishing "The Children of Hurin," which "The Lord of the Rings" author started to write in 1918 and left as an unfinished project, the BBC reported Tuesday.
"It has seemed to me for a long time that there was a good case for presenting my father's long version of the legend of "The Children of Hurin" as an independent work, between its own covers," Christopher Tolkien said in a statement.
Tolkien died at age 81 in 1973, his "Lord of the Rings" trilogy has been made into three successful films and has sold more than 50 million copies.
