Beautiful talk by Chris Smith, the Tolkien editor of HarperCollins. Chris described Christopher as their Eärendil, guiding the way, and as the protector of his father’s legacy for over 40 years, mostly via fax!

Perhaps my favorite talk of #ChristopherTolkienCentenaryConference so far. It was incredible to hear how Parma Eldalamberon became the venue for Tolkien’s linguistic papers. #TolkienSociety #Tolkien
The early evening session of the #ChristopherTolkienCentenaryConference opens with Parma Eldalamberon's editor Christopher Gilson's talk on "Christopher Tolkien’s involvement in the publication of his father’s linguistic writings in Parma Eldalamberon"

What an amazing day! I've laughed, I've cried, but most of all I've had the feeling I always get when the Tolkien community comes together and that's home.

Fantastic presentation from Robin Reed about the absent female characters in the legendarium, lessened by the work that Christopher did in expanding the works. The outpouring of camaraderie in the Zoom chat was wonderful! For all the unnamed daughters! #TolkienSociety #ChristopherTolkien

Wonderful presentation from William Fliss about Christopher Tolkien’s collaboration with Marquette University. Bill beautifully presented the history of their relationship, the major players, and the future in the incredible Anduin database. Thank you, Bill!

Such an honor to hear from artist Alan Lee! Alan recalled that Christopher asked him to keep the characters limited in size focusing more on the landscapes- the places they were passing through. That seems to fit perfectly with Tolkien’s love of the nature world.
