Poet Michael Tolkien, the eldest grandson of the The Hobbit author, will write two novels based on stories his grandfather read to him as a child.

Gerald Dickens, the great-great grandson of Charles, will narrate the audiobook versions.

With all respect to Tolkien and Dickens, but their grandsons are just living from the fame of their ancestors.
