Book
Hardcover. Condition: New. Second in a series of hardback boxed sets celebrating the literary achievement of Christopher Tolkien, featuring double-sided dustjackets. Includes THE LAYS OF BELERIAND, THE SHAPING OF MIDDLE-EARTH and THE LOST ROAD, which contain the early myths and legends that led to the writings of THE SILMARILLION. The Lays of Beleriand gives us a privileged insight into the creation of the mythology of Middle-earth through the alliterative verse tales of two of the most crucial stories in Tolkien s world those of Túrin and of Beren and Lúthien. Accompanying the poems are commentaries on the evolution of the history of the Elder Days, together with the notable criticism of The Lay of Leithian by C.S. Lewis, who read the poem in 1929. In The Shaping of Middle-earth the chronological and geographical structure of the legends of Middle-earth and Valinor is spread before us. We are introduced to the hitherto unknown Ambarkanta or Shape of the World , the only account ever given of the nature of the imagined Universe, accompanied by maps and diagrams of the world before and after the cataclysms of the War of the Gods and the Downfall of Númenor. Also included are the original Silmarillion of 1926, and the Quenta Noldorinwa of 1930 the only version of the myths and legends of the First Age that J.R.R. Tolkien completed to their end. The Lost Road completes the examination of Tolkien s writing completes the examination of Tolkien's writing before he began The Lord of the Rings, presenting later forms of the annals of Valinor and Beleriand, the legend of the downfall of Númenor, and the abandoned time-travel story The Lost Road, linking the world of Númenor and Middle-earth with the legends of many other times and peoples. Published together for the first time, these three books comprise a fascinating period of Christopher Tolkien s forty-year career devoted to presenting his father J.R.R. Tolkien s writings on Middle-earth, itself a unique accomplishment that celebrates the greatest invented world in all of fantasy literature.

Book First Edition
Hardcover. Condition: As New. Dust Jacket Condition: Fine. 1st Edition. Condition: Fine/As-New. 1st American edition, 5th printing. 8vo. size, 389 pp. Black cloth covers with gilt spine titles. The 4th volume of Christopher Tolkien's exhaustive survey of his father's writings regarding Middle-earth. This volume covers prose fragments following The Lost Tales, The earliest 'Silmarillion,' the Quenta, the first 'Silmarillion' map, the Embarkanta, the earliest Annals of Valinor, and the earliest Annals of Beleriand. Includes numerous illustrations of J.R.R. Tolkien's earliest map drawings of Middle-earth. The book is fine, read once but essentially as-new. In a fine dj with one tiny tear to the bottom rear fold, but otherwise as-new. "I met a lot of things on the way that astonished me. Tom Bombadil I knew already; but I had never been to Bree. Strider sitting in the corner at the Inn was a shock, and I had no more idea who he was than had Frodo. The Mines of Moria had been a mere name; and of Lothlorien, no word had reached my mortal ears till I came there. Far away, I knew there were the Horselords on the confines of an ancient Kingdom of Men, but Fangorn forest was an unforeseen adventure. I had never heard of the house or Eorl, nor of the Stewards of Gondor. Most disquieting of all, Saruman had never been revealed to me, and I was as mystified as Frodo at Gandalf's failure to appear on September 22."--J.R.R. Tolkien, in a letter to W.H. Auden, 7 June, 1955. In uncertain economic times, what better way to invest your money than in items of lasting value you can hold in hand and enjoy?.

Hardcover. Condition: As New. Dust Jacket Condition: Fine. The History of Middle-Earth Vols. 1-5. A Very Fine uniform matching set of the Harper Collins hardcover reprint series, all in Fine Dust Wrappers, protected in Brodart sleeves. This set is comprised of The Book of Lost Tales Parts I & II, The Lays of Beleriand, The Shaping of Middle-Earth, and The Lost Road and Other Stories. These five volumes together comprise the bulk of J.R.R. Tolkien's early writings on Middle-Earth, from The Book of Lost Tales, the first major work of imagination by J.R.R. Tolkien, begun in 1916-17 when he was 25 years old, taking in such sustained works as the Lay of the Children of Hurin, and the Lay of Leithian; writings detailing the mythological background of Middle-Earth, such as the Ambarkanta or Shape of the World; th e Annals of Valinor & Beleriand which chronicle the First Age of Middle-Earth; the earliest versions the Silmarillion; through to the later forms of the Annals, The Lost Road, and The Lhammas. These writings bring the History of Middle-Earth up to the point where The Lord of the Rings was begun, and the next four volumes of the series chronicle the History of The Lord of the Rings. A highly desireable set, becoming increasingly difficult to obtain in this condition.
