Oui, c'est ca, c'est vrai. Just trying to picture what is up in my loft, there are at least 4 volumes of Lost Tales, perhaps 5, perhaps more. I haven't looked in them since my late teens/early twenties, however.
Apaprently a collection of old laundry lists and receipts from the grocery store frequented by the good professor is being edited by a distant relative of the Tolkien family. A rumour that Peter Jackson has bought the movie rights is seriously unfounded.
