Description
The Children of Húrin is a standalone story that reunites fans of The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings with Elves, dragons, Dwarves and Orcs, and the rich landscape and characters unique to J.R.R. Tolkien's Middle-earth.
Set in a legendary time long before The Lord of the Rings, this epic tale tells the tragic story of Túrin and his sister Niënor, whose lives are dominated by the elemental hatred that Morgoth bears them as the children of Húrin. Morgoth sends his most formidable servant, Glaurung, a powerful spirit in the form of a huge wingless dragon of fire, to destroy the children of Húrin.
Painstakingly restored from Tolkien's manuscripts and presented for the first time as a fully continuous and standalone story, this book offers a coherent narrative without any editorial invention, as constructed by Christopher Tolkien after long study of the manuscripts.
