The Children of Húrin by J.R.R. Tolkien,
Edited by Christopher Tolkien
From J.R.R. Tolkien, the world-famous author of The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings, comes his first stand-alone book in thirty years, fully completed by his son, Christopher Tolkien, and illustrated by renowned artist Alan Lee. The Children of Húrin takes readers to an area of Middle-earth that was to be drowned before Hobbits ever appeared, at a time when the great enemies were still the fallen Vala, Morgoth, and Sauren. This is the epic tale of Húrin (the man who defied Morgoth's force of evil), his family's destiny, and his son Turin Turambar's travails through the lost world of Beleriand. Fans will be reunited with Elves and Men, Dragons and Dwarves, and Eagles and Orcs in this stirring tale.
