The History of Middle-earth: Part Three
A new one-volume edition of the final three books in The History of
Middle-earth – designed to perfectly complement Parts I & II.
J.R.R. Tolkien is famous the world over for his unique literary creation,
exemplified in The Hobbit, The Lord of the Rings and The Silmarillion.
What is less well known, however, is that he also produced a vast amount of further material that greatly expands upon the mythology and
numerous stories of Middle-earth, and which gives added life to the
thousand-year war between the Elves and the evil spirit Morgoth, and his terrifying lieutenant, Sauron. It was to this enormous task of
literary construction that his Tolkien’s youngest son and literary heir, Christopher, applied himself to produce the monumental and endlessly
fascinating series of 12 books, The History of Middle-earth. This
hardback edition brings together the final three volumes of The History
of Middle-earth – Morgoth’s Ring, The War of the Jewels and The Peoples
of Middle-earth.
Epic in scope and extent, and featuring rare maps and illustrations drawn by J.R.R. Tolkien, this final volume of the trilogy presents the reader with a unique opportunity to collect the complete set of The Complete History of Middle-earth in an attractive and lasting edition.
