The History Of Middle-Earth Part 1

The first of three volumes in the complete history of Middle-earth.

JRR Tolkien is famous the world over for his unique literary creation, exemplified in 'The Hobbit', 'The Lord Of The Rings' and 'The Silmarillion'.

What is less well known, however, is that he also produced a vast amount of further material that greatly expands upon the mythology and numerous stories of Middle-earth, and which gives added life to the thousand-year war between the Elves and the evil spirit Morgoth, and his terrifying lieutenant, Sauron.

It was to his enormous task of literary construction that Tolkien' youngest son and literary heir, Christopher, applies himself to produce the monumental and endlessly fascinating series of twelve books, 'The History Of Middle-Earth'.

Part One of this brand new collector's edition brings together the first five volumes:
- Book I: The Book Of Lost Tales Part 1
- Book II: The Book Of Lost Tales Part 2
- Book III: The Lays Of Beleriand
- Book IV: The Shaping Of Middle-Earth
- Book V: The Lost Road And Other Writings
