Description
The complete 12-book The History of Middle-earth, printed in three volumes and set in a matching box.
J.R.R. 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. This material 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 Tolkien's 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 collector's 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.

The Complete History of Middle-earth is celebrated for showcasing the intricate and vast world-building efforts of J.R.R. Tolkien, brought to life by his son, Christopher Tolkien. The volume is particularly appreciated for its detailed exploration of the creation of a richly imagined secondary universe, providing invaluable insights for fans intrigued by Tolkien's expansive creative process.

About the Author
Christopher Tolkien, born on 21 November 1924, is the third son of J.R.R. Tolkien. During the Second World War he served in the Royal Air Force and the Fleet Air Arm as a pilot. At the end of the war he returned to Oxford University and became a Fellow and Tutor in English of New College in 1964, lecturing in the University on early English and northern literature. Appointed by J.R.R. Tolkien to be his literary executor, he has devoted himself since his father's death in 1973 to the editing and publication of unpublished writings, notably The Silmarillion and Beowulf, and the collections entitled Unfinished Tales and The History of Middle-earth. Since 1975 he has lived in France with his wife Baillie.
