Tolkien and Dickens ~ Fantasy Meets Reality?

Photobucket


The BBC reports:
Poet Michael Tolkien, the eldest grandson of the The Hobbit author, will write two novels based on stories his grandfather read to him as a child.

Gerald Dickens, the great-great grandson of Charles, will narrate the audiobook versions. Both works are due to be released later this year.

Publisher Thames River Press said the first book, Wish, was inspired by Florence Bone's 1923 story, The Rose-Coloured Wish....The second book, Rainbow, is based on Bone's 1910 novel, The Other Side of the Rainbow.
