over seas sailing to Saxon lands

Good Maude y'all they're publishing the Tolkien Fall of Arthur. I remember reading about this in the Humphrey Carpenter biography as a middleschooler and being absolutely crushed when I discovered that I couldn't read it - the Matter of Britain had been my main squeeze before I got into Tolkien, and the idea of the two fannish streams crossing was the most exciting thing that I'd ever thought of before. Am superpsyched about getting to read it at long last!

Damn. I kind of want to buy this, but Tolkien is historically terrible to the ladies, as are the Arthurian myths. So I think that I may just pick it up from the library instead.
