The Book of Lost Tales 2 (The History of Middle-earth)

The second of a two-book set that contains the early myths and legends which led to the writing of Tolkien’s epic tale of war, The Silmarillion.

Key Features:

• Includes iconic tales:
  • Beren and Lúthien
  • Túrin and the Dragon
  • The only full narratives of the Necklace of the Dwarves and the Fall of Gondolin, which is regarded as the finest and most exciting depiction of a battle that Tolkien ever wrote.
• Commentary and analysis: Each tale is followed by a commentary in the form of a short essay, together with texts of associated poems.
• Linguistic depth: Contains extensive information on names and vocabulary in the earliest Elvish languages.

This series of fascinating books has now been repackaged to complement the distinctive and classic style of the ‘black cover’ A-format paperbacks of The Hobbit, The Lord of the Rings, The Silmarillion, and Unfinished Tales.
