Just before season four of Game of Thrones hits the telly, and George RR Martin has scattered a few crumbs of bounty for the series's millions of avid readers, in the form of an unseen chapter from the forthcoming sixth book in the A Song of Ice and Fire series, The Winds of Winter.
"The new chapter is actually an old chapter," writes Martin on his website. "But no, it's not one I've published or posted before, and I don't even think I've read it at a con (could be wrong there, I've done readings at so many cons, it all tends to blur together). So it's new in that it is material that no one but my editors (well, and Parris, and David and Dan, and a few others) have ever seen before, but it's old in that it was written a long time ago, predating any of the samples that you have seen. The first draft was, at any rate. I've rewritten it a dozen times since then."
