[BBC] Lord of the Rings 'middle earth' unveiled

Not listened to this as currently at work but thought may be of interest: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-36604583
It is a fantasy land through which millions have walked in their own imaginations.

Now fans of Lord of the Rings can see Middle Earth as its creator J.R.R. Tolkien did.

A previously unseen map, drawn by the author's son Christopher and added to by Tolkien himself, is going on display for one day only.

Duncan Kennedy reports.

Clarification: It is J.R.R. Tolkien's annotations that are new, not the map itself. This annotated map was revealed quite some time ago, but I'm glad that it is receiving a public exhibition.
"Far, far below the deepest delvings of the Dwarves, the world is gnawed by nameless things. Even Sauron knows them not. They are older than he."
