Author:Humphrey Carpenter

I've done the little there was to be be done with so few entries there are now. Still, I report it here because of the following notes: --JVjr 15:33, 29 Apr 2007 (CDT)
 * 1) Currently there's only award data and no publication for The Letters of J. R. R. Tolkien; that should be expanded, and probably co-authored to JRRT as well. (In fact, I own a copy somewhere.)
 * 2) Some online sources give first publication of Inklings as 1979, however enough sufficiently reputable (incl. Clute's Fantasy Encyclopedia) put it already to 1978.
 * 3) If you want to have a good laugh inbetween the ISFDB muckraking: Tolkien: A Biography (I suppose that's the standard one, which has had somewhat different titles in its many publications) was listed as by HC and one "Gynogret Carpenter". This seems to be yet another import/infection from Amazon: mostly they have a Tolkien biography by Gynogret alone, but somewhere they were merged as co-authors. Look at your keyboard: apparently some Amazon slave was typing "Humphrey" with fingers one position left of the correct one...
