- Nope. These recordings have been released in various disguises for many
- years. In fact, I just found the latest incarnation at the local Borders
- bookstore. It is a four-cassette boxed set called "The JRR Tolkien Audio
- Collection". It contains readings by JRRT from The Hobbit and all three
- LOTR books, as well as an hour-long reading of the tale of Beren and Luthien
- by Christopher Tolkien (awesome!). ISBN # is 1-55994-675-X.

- Then did Tinuviel begin such a dance as neither she
- nor any other sprite or fay or elf danced ever before or
- has done since, and after a while even Melko's gaze was
- held in wonder. Round the hall she fared, swift as a
- swallow, noiseless as a bat, magically beautiful as only
- Tinuviel ever was, and now she was at Melko's side, now
- before him, now behind, and her misty draperies touched
- his face and waved before his eyes, and the folk that sat
- about the walls or stood in that place were whelmed one by
- one in sleep, falling down into deep dreams of all that their
- ill hearts desired.
