The diligent Christopher Reuel Tolkien seems every bit as inspired by and devoted to Middle-earth as his much celebrated father.
The Unfinished Tales: Of Númenor and Middle-earth is the first compilation of findings and fragments edited by Christopher for publication after J.R.R. Tolkien’s death.
Be warned adventurer! The more you delve into Middle-earth the further you will want to go!
The revelations concerning major characters from The Lord Of The Rings, which bridge The Hobbit to its epic sequel, will make readers’ believe they have stumbled on their very own treasure horde.
Considered editing makes it possible to simply enjoy the tales or refer quickly to the copious notes for a more enlightened, academic experience.
It is an ideal read for anyone keen for some Hobbit…

Updated 09/10/2014
Another full-length prose novel from (the admittedly deceased) J.R.R. Tolkien is too good to be true and infinitely more satisfying than all those collected fragments with endless footnotes.
It’s business as usual with The Children Of Húrin as ancient oral-storytelling traditions pervade Tolkien’s reliably rich and evocative prose.
Húrin has much in common with Norse dragon slayer Myths and is almost unbearably tragic. It’s a great place to start with pre-Hobbit and Lord Of The Rings’ history and the maps and glossaries are essential – although why Tolkien is the only author who can get away with such things remains a mystery.
It is a book to make you homesick for Middle-earth all over again.

There’s a brand new Hobbit movie on the way so here’s a chance to check out some alternative Bilbo “Bagginses”, including one that looks more than a little like Mr. Tolkien himself.
You will find lots more images in the Middle-earth album, just click the pics to explore…
