Its hard to argue with your sense of proportion Cp And then Professor Tolkien again interrupted his important work on Beowulf for another silly childrens book  but personally I did prefer the strict chronological arrangementthats what motivated me to start my contributions since none of the other sources had any kind of chronological discipline  Thats one of my main gripes against Saunders biography he drops the thread of the chronology for a tangent he finds interesting and never recovers  I do think its worthwhile when reading about Docs writing to know what was going on in his life at the time
