The Book of Lost Tales, Part One by J.R.R. Tolkien, Christopher Tolkien

Did not finish book. Stopped at 18%.

Bailing at p53. While I think it’s sweet that Christopher Tolkien committed himself academically to his dad’s work, this book spends way too much time discussing JRR’s process in writing it and not enough time on the actual stories. Would have much preferred a slim volume of the actual stories with maybe one paragraph of discussion.
