Painstakingly restored from Tolkien's manuscripts and presented for the first time as a continuous and standalone story, the epic tale of Beren and Lúthien will reunite fans of The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings with Elves and Men, Dwarves and Orcs and the rich landscape and creatures unique to Tolkien's Middle-earth.
'A seamless editorial construct, the capstone to a job Christopher Tolkien began with The Silmarillion'
New Statesman
'Critical moments are caught, as in The Children of Húrin, by Alan Lee's nine outstanding colour plates'
