More grand news of a J.R.R. Tolkien work being publlished later this year (3 November 2016, in fact): The Lay of Aotrou and Itroun.

This link to the gives much information, in fact SPOILERS! The new work in in the vein of The Story of Kullervo, in that it is an early poetic rendition by Tolkien of a traditional folkloric tale. The dark faerie, the Corrigan, in the poem eventually became Galadriel in The Lord of the Rings: think of the scene in Lothlórien when Frodo offers the One Ring to Galadriel!

Tolkien wrote the poem in 1930, and while it has been published before, that was reportedly only the once in 1945 in a literary magazine, The Welsh Review.

The book is edited by Verlyn Flieger, so we are likely to be treated to some excellent supporting material along with the poem itself.

Here's the official HarperCollins .
