Christopher T edited the Sil, the texts are all written by JRRT. CT put his
father's notes etc. together, choosing the right ones of all the different
versions of the stories,  and brought them into a coherent, publishable
form. Only one chapter (I don't have the Sil with me at the moment, thus I
don't know which one) was written by CT based on an outline of his father.
