Description

Unfinished Tales is a collection of narratives that take readers further into the stories of Middle-earth, as told in The Hobbit, The Lord of the Rings, and The Silmarillion. This edition celebrates its 40th anniversary with 18 full-colour paintings depicting scenes from the First, Second, and Third Ages of Middle-earth.

The book provides a wealth of background and new stories, ranging in time from the Elder Days of Middle-earth to the end of the War of the Ring. It includes tales such as The Quest of Erebor, Gandalf's account of the party at Bag-End, and the emergence of the sea-god Ulmo. The book also contains stories about the long ages of Númenor before its downfall, and the legend of Amroth.

Edited by Christopher Tolkien, this edition features a short commentary on each story, helping the reader to fill in the gaps and put each story into the context of the rest of his father's writings. The new edition includes stunning paintings from critically acclaimed Tolkien artists, Alan Lee, John Howe, and Ted Nasmith.
