It's my pleasure to announce our upcoming 2009 exhibition and sale, Lands of Enchantment! Date: April 3 through 6 2009. Place: Redesdale Hall, Moreton in Marsh, Glos., England.
Along with my newest Tolkien paintings (see previous entry) the exhibition will feature the latest art by Ruth Lacon, Jef Murray, and Peter Procownik, along with books, memorabilia, craft and activities geared to attract and interest our many friends, supporters and clients. As in the past, I and my fellow musicians will perform songs and music each afternoon (and some evenings unofficially). We invite you to be a part of our gathering.
This spring's event will also officially launch the first book of collected notes and stories by JRR Tolkien's late brother Hilary. We have lately been entrusted by the Hilary Tolkien family with publication of their grandfather's papers and letters, a first. Up to now, there has been very little known of the very warm relationship John Reuel had with Hilary throughout their lives. ADC Books has now published the first of two volumes presenting a glimpse of the story ideas Hilary made up in their youth so long ago. Angie Gardner has done a lovely job editing and contextualizing the often difficult-to-discern notes, and Jef Murray has created just the right whimsical illustrations.
