The second of a two-book set that contains the early myths and legends
which led to the writing of Tolkien’s epic tale of war, The
Silmarillion.
This second part of The Book of Lost Tales includes
the tale of Beren and Lúthien, Túrin and the Dragon, and the only full
narratives of the Necklace of the Dwarves and the Fall of Gondolin,
itself the finest and most exciting depiction of a battle that Tolkien
ever wrote. Each tale is followed by a commentary in the form of a short
essay, together with texts of associated poems, and contains extensive
information on names and vocabulary in the earliest Elvish languages.
