Nice to see CT get recognition like that, we owe him so much as fans and readers of his fathers work, no one else could have done the work he has done for so long as well as he does. I find it remarkable that he still finds such energy and time to continue to edit material for publication at such a high standard after so long.
Many thanks to both Tolkiens father and son for many years of enjoyment over the years, and here's to many more

in case anyone wonders what the edit was for.
This is excellent news; it's great to see Christopher's dedication and extraordinary work being recognized and rewarded.

Roads go ever ever on
Under cloud and under star
Yet feet that wandering have gone
Turn at last to home afar.
Eyes that fire and sword have seen
And horror in the halls of stone
Look at last on meadows green
And trees and hills they long have known.

He's devoted so much of his own talent, skill and hard work to books that will always be read as his father's. It's good to see some recognition go to him.
For still there are so many things
that I have never seen:
in every wood and every spring
there is a different green. . .

Glad to see him formally recognised
It was a foggy day in London, and the fog was heavy and dark. Animate London, with smarting eyes and irritated lungs, was blinking, wheezing, and choking; inanimate London was a sooty spectre, divided in purpose between being visible and invisible, and so being wholly neither. - Our Mutual Friend, Charles Dickens.
It is said by the Eldar that in water there lives yet the echo of the Music of the Ainur more than in any substance that is in this Earth; and many of the Children of Ilúvatar hearken still unsated to the voices of the Sea, and yet know not for what they listen. - The Silmarillion, J. R. R. Tolkien
