About this product

Product Information

An extraordinary discovery is waiting for you on these pages. Mythic lore and forgotten legends unearthed by Christopher Tolkien from his father's archives unveil never-before-told stories of the three ages of ancient Middle-earth. THE FIRST AGE Young lord Turin fled from Morgoth's forces, wandering in disguise as an outlaw until he could avenge his people against the evil that had razed his home. But Turin lived under the curse of a hateful dragon--and the lord's secret identity hid more than he knew. THE SECOND AGE Prince Aldarion's heart belonged to Erendis, but his passion lay with the ocean, and the great ships that sailed beyond the sight of the land. But no man could serve two mistresses--and no mortal's love could withstand the lure of the sea. THE THIRD AGE The great warrior Isildur escaped with the One Ring, cut from the Dark Lord Sauron's hand, to hide it from Evil's grasp. But Isildur would learn the burden of a ringbearer--and of its temptation and despair.

  • great book

    "Unfinished Tales" is a fill-in-the-gaps sort of book, and Tolkien's storytelling genius still shines through in this disjointed collection of essays, bits and pieces. For those hungering for more Middle-Earth. 5.0 out of 5 stars What a fantastic book! It arrived yesterday and I haven't put it down.

  • For Tolkien fans

    For my husband, who likes Tolkien. He was able to find the same or a similar book on audio, as he is on the road daily. Perhaps he will find the time to read the paper book.

  • Good book!

    This book has more stories of hobbits and elves. Dragons and men too. The additional tales compliment Tolkien's other books very well. I recommend it to anyone who liked The Lord of the Rings.
