How does one get a fan letter to Christopher Tolkien??? Can't Post

Just wondering: is it possible to get any evidence of your love/adoration of his father to Christopher Tolkien? I don't think there's any way, but someone on TORn's forums might have some inklings of an idea...=)Smile

You could always try the Tolkien estate website [In reply to] Can't Post

Happiness: money matters, but less than we think and not in the way that we think. Family is important and so are friends, while envy is toxic -- and so is excessive thinking. Beaches are optional. Trust is not. Neither is gratitude. - The Geography of Bliss by Eric Weiner as summarized by Lily Fairbairn. And a bit of the Hobbit reading thrown in never hurts. - NottaSackville

Yes - that's how you contact any author.... [In reply to] Can't Post

... letter to the publisher containing a letter to the author with a request to forward it. Takes time but it works

Well, actually... [In reply to] Can't Post

...I do know of some writers who can be contacted through their blogs via email and other social media.

Yes, sorry, you're absolutely right.... [In reply to] Can't Post

... these days that's true. But I was assuming that probably wouldn't apply to Christopher Tolkien - the route via publisher is tried and trusted (and can sometimes be achieved by email as well as letter. But emails are often overlooked; letters are more likely to be passed on.)

In reply....... [In reply to] Can't Post

I appreciate all the feedback, but there is rather a flaw in that: I believe that Mr. Tolkien requested that his contact information be withdrawn from all social media. So I guess that it was rather pointless to ask in the first place........=) Sorry! Unsure

It depends where in the world you are... [In reply to] Can't Post

In the UK it's Harper Collins - http://www.tolkien.co.uk/index.html There's a contact link at the bottom of the page if you need it.
