Talk:The Children of Húrin

message: I think the book will have an interesting effect on the mass of fans, those who haven't read The Silmarillion, never mind the Histories.  They'll see Elves of a very imperfect sort, notably the bigot Saeros.  --GwydionM 15:35, 19 September 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I would be worried about anyone reading this book without having read the Sil first. Lord of the Rings fans will find a very different world from that which they know and will miss crucial background stories to Doriath, Nargothrond and the whole war of the Silmarils. --JamesTheNumberless 09:00, 19 April 2007 (UTC)

message: How has the book been received by critics and by the Tolkien fanbase? There seems to be little on the subject in this article. --JamesTheNumberless 08:55, 19 April 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Reception 

message: Simultaneously (April 17) published in Germany as Die Kinder Húrins. Worth mentioning? --128.176.233.115 16:31, 19 April 2007 (UTC)

message: Gives it's name in both the English and Elvish, openly. The beginning of this page should identify it by both names that the author and editor retained for it. --Chr.K. 12:33, 10 June 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Title page within the book... 

message: I have also added this in the discussion on the Túrin Turambar-page. I noticed the game Castlevania: Symphony of the Night contains at least two weapons from Children of Húrin. One is a black sword and is directly referred to as "Mormegil". The other is an icebrand which is said to belong to "Mîm". Should such things be added to the page?

message: It seems weird to have the synopsis written in the past tense: I can't think of a single synopsis I've ever read which isn't in the present tense. I'm tempted to change this one, but I imagine that there are a few Tolkien fans who are quite protective of his works so I'm checking in here first to ask if anyone has any objections to me doing so  Dom Kaos (talk) 16:34, 19 March 2009 (UTC)

message: Following recent edits, the synopsis is now at least twice as long as necessary. -- Elphion (talk) 01:41, 23 April 2010 (UTC)

message: : (quote) "Alan Lee, illustrator of other fantasy works by J. R. R. Tolkien (The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings) created the jacket painting, as well as the illustrations within the book."
This makes the interior illustrations an afterthought. The infobox unusually identifies Lee as cover artist rather than illustrator. Is the number of interior illustrations unusually small? Is there another rationale? --P64 (talk) 22:23, 30 August 2012 (UTC)
