A collection of Tolkien's unpublished manuscripts dealing with events from the Elder Days of Middle-earth to the end of the War of the Rings.
For anyone who's read The Lord of the Rings and The Silmarillion and wants more, this is an excellent next read. More detail on tales already told and some fascinating new bits.
This is one of the best books in the Legendarium. Christopher Tolkien's work is so exquisite that this book can be considered the precursor of the History of Middle-Earth. Definitely a must read to anyone who wants to delve into Tolkien’s legacy.
