What did happen in the Attenbury Emeralds case?

Tolkien was on my list earlier - but thing is, Children of Hurin came out this year, which pretty much suits the taste I wanted from him (I also heard it was decently good).

Madeleine L'Engle. I read in a New Yorker profile a while back that she was working on a novel about Meg (from the Time Trilogy) as an adult, but since I also heard that she has had a stroke, I'm not holding out much hope for it.

I'd love to have seen a Tolkien version of the Silmarillion. Maybe then I would've gotten past page 123.
