The Book of Lost Tales, Part 1

About this book

Discover the origins of Middle-earth in The Book of Lost Tales ā€“ Part One, the foundational volume of Tolkien's vast legendarium. These are the earliest versions of what would later evolve into The Silmarillion, The Lord of the Rings, and beyondā€”tales first imagined during World War I and steeped in rich mythic language. Here, the world of Elves, Valar, and Men takes its first breath through stories such as The Cottage of Lost Play, The Fall of Gondolin, and The Tale of TinĆŗviel. Edited and annotated by Christopher Tolkien, this volume reveals the raw beauty, shifting names, and developmental sketches of Tolkien's myth-making genius. It is a treasure trove for devoted fans and scholars, offering a rare glimpse into the mind of the master as he began shaping a mythology for England.
