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 Tolkiens youngest son and literary heir; Christopher; applied himself to produce the monumental and endlessly fascinating series of twelve books; The History of Middle-earth. This very special collectors edition brings together all twelve books into three hardback volumes over 5;000 pages of fascinating Tolkien material and places them in one matching box.
