The Great Tales of Middle-earth Boxed Set by J.R.R. Tolkien, illustrated by Alan Lee, edited by Christopher Tolkien

This sumptuous gift set collects together hardback editions of the three most recently published tales of Middle-earth—The Children of Húrin, Beren and Lúthien, and The Fall of Gondolin—and presents them in a matching slipcase decorated with the stunning artwork of the legendary illustrator Alan Lee. These are the great standalone narratives that Tolkien himself considered the heart of his legendarium, now brought together in one magnificent collection that celebrates the literary achievement of Christopher Tolkien's lifetime of editorial dedication.

Within these 918 pages lie the darkest tragedies and most heroic quests of the Elder Days. Follow Túrin and his sister through their doom-laden lives beneath Morgoth's terrible curse; witness Beren and Lúthien's supremely heroic attempt to steal a Silmaril from the crown of the Black Enemy himself; and experience the devastating fall of Gondolin, the hidden Elvish city destroyed by Balrogs, dragons and numberless Orcs. Printed in full colour with new artwork throughout, this sixth and final collectible boxed set is essential for any serious Tolkien collection—a treasure trove of myth, tragedy and heroism from the First Age of Middle-earth, presented with all the beauty and reverence these immortal tales deserve.
