Posted 11th Dec 2014 to the Otago Daily Times Dunedin NZ
Further to the Christina McDonald Article 18/4/13 of the official 1979 Snub against JRR Tolkien in Fiordland by Government Representatives and later unflattering official comments about the Anduin Reach and Tolkien’s Mountain Stories from elected officials
I think we should reflect on what the Tolkien Family has given NZ when we sit down to watch the final Hobbit installment this week
It’s Pretty embarrassing how as a Nation we kissed up to Hollywood money-men but we could only show contempt for the Tolkien Estate. It is no wonder Christopher Tolkien JRR Tolkien’s Son is not happy with our Country.
I would have to say there is an official apology due at some level, The Tolkien’s do own computers and can read our News Papers, they also know they have not made a single cent from from their Contribution to NZ’s Tourism Windfall. It sucks as bad as the way this country treats Sherpa Tenzing.
Not really Cricket considering the Final Message to Humanity of the Hobbit sagas.
Oh that the very last stroke falls here in a place that has become the Physical home to Middle Earth!
