About this product

Product Information

The extraordinary history of Middle-earth, edited by Christopher Tolkien The Book of Lost Tales stands at the beginning of the entire conception of Middle-earth and Valinor. Embedded in English legend and English association, they were set in the narrative frame of a great westward voyage over the Ocean by a mariner named Eriol (or lfwine) to Tol Eress a, the Lonely Isle, where Elves dwelt; from them he learned their true history, the Lost Tales of Elfinesse. In the Tales are found the earliest accounts and original ideas of Gods and Elves; Dwarves and Orcs; the Silmarils and the Two Trees of Valinor; Nargothrond and Gondolin; and the geography and cosmology of the invented world. Praise for Book of Lost Tales 1 "In these tales we have the scholar joyously gamboling in the thickets of his imagination. . . . A commentary and notes greatly enrich the quest." -- The Daily Telegraph "Affords us an almost over-the-shoulder view into the evolving creative process and genius of J.R.R. Tolkien in a new, exciting aspect . . .The superb, sensitive, and extremely helpful commentary and editing done by Christopher Tolkien make all of this possible." --Mythlore

  • Unfortunately, weak plot + over explaining of everything

    This is Tolkien's 1st writing effort and it shows. His son writes in voluminous detail about the characters and places in the book. It was just wading through a story with not much plot. I am a BIG fan of Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit, so there's promise there, but I wouldn't recommend the book.

  • To Bring WHOLE A Most Epic Tale!

    I'm Not entirely "through" the book - BUT. EVEN in the first few Chapters.... the Magic re-appears from Memory... By only a Few pieces of a Massive 'jigsaw puzzle', I'm Drawn back IN to the World made incredibly Real in the Prose of Tolkien.. Forget mere 'Prequel' jargon, the History Builds the excitement.. SETS the Stage.. And Answers the Questions left open! Very affordable paperback edition - Travelling Size! NO Boredom allowed! Highly recommended!
