Baillie Tolkien (CJRT's wife) recalls in 2012:
“During all that time, I watched him type with three fingers on an old machine that
had belonged to his father....It was a literary gold mine, but also a painstaking job and
left Christopher exhausted, not to say depressed. But never mind, he would not stop there."
