Description

This box set is for fans looking to see where there is beyond THE LORD OF THE RINGS and THE HOBBIT.

THE TOLKIEN READER: Tolkien's shorter fiction and works. Includes:
1. The Homecoming of Beorhtnoth, Beorhthelm's Son: a play dealing with two men after the Battle of Maldon.
2. TREE AND LEAF: This is a book consisting of two things: his essay on faerie tales, and Leaf By Niggle.
3. FARMER GILES OF HAM: a mock medieval story.
4. THE ADVENTURES OF TOM BOMBADIL: A collection of poetry

THE SILMARILLION:
The heart of Tolkien's mythology, providing the vast, mythic backdrop that made THE LORD OF THE RINGS so satisfying. As important to Tolkien as LOTR, THE SILMARILION is long, epic history of the Satanic Morgoth, the far more deadly lord of Sauron, and his dealings with the three tribes of Elves (The Noldor, the Teleri, and the Vanyar.). Difficult and dry, but immensely rewarding for those who love mythology. Four short works plus THE SILMARILLION proper.

UNFINISHED TALES: A compendium of unfinished narratives, further detailing the three ages of Middle-earth.

SIR GAWAIN AND THE GREEN KNIGHT: Three medieval poems.

Author Biography:

John Ronald Reuel Tolkien was born on January 3, 1892, in Bloemfontein, South Africa. After serving in World War I, he embarked upon a distinguished academic career and was recognized as one of the finest philologists in the world. He was a professor of Anglo-Saxon at Oxford, a fellow of Pembroke College, and a fellow of Merton College until his retirement in 1959. He is, however, beloved throughout the world as the creator of Middle-earth and author of such classic works as The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings. He died on September 2, 1973, at the age of eighty-one.
