- the info is to be found in its fullest form in John Rateliffe's two-part work 'The History of The Hobbit'. It's an odd story - basically, JRR published TH; the publishers wanted a sequel, and in December 1937 he began writing what would turn out to be LotR. But in 1947, he realized that Gollum's character didn't gel with that in LotR, so he sent what he intended as a sample of a new ch. 5 to the publishers. And boy, was he surprised to see this new material in print when Allen & Unwin published the 2nd ed. on 1951!
