"The power of Tolkien's central characters . . . shines through." Library Journal.
A treasure trove of lore for old and new friends of Middle-earth. Enter now, reader, and learn of the hero of the Lay of Leithian. Hear as well of the early years of Turin the Tall, as he journeys through darkness on his quest to find his father. Read of his rescue by Beleg the Brave, and of the dark destiny that haunts their friendship! Only the genius of Tolkien could create a fantasy more real than reality, a reality more fantastic than fantasy!
Christopher Tolkien continues to mine his father's wealth of previously unpublished material--to the delight of J.R.R. Tolkien's legion of readers. The Lays of Beleriand presents a crucial early prelude to the classic Lord of the Rings saga. Accompanied by the analysis of C.S. Lewis.
