Unfinished Tales of Númenor and Middle-earth
J.R.R. Tolkien
Unfinished Tales
is a collection of narratives ranging in time from the Elder Days of
Middle-earth to the end of the War of the Ring, and provides those who
have read The Lord of the Rings with a whole collection of background
and new stories from the twentieth century's most acclaimed popular
author. The book concentrates on the realm of Middle-earth and comprises
such elements as Gandalf's lively account of how it was that he came to
send the Dwarves to the celebrated party at Bag-End, the emergence of
the sea-god Ulmo before the eyes of Tuor on the coast of Beleriand, and
an exact description of the military organization of the Riders of
Rohan.
Unfinished Tales also contains the only story about
the long ages of Númenor before its downfall, and all that is known
about such matters as the Five Wizards, the Palantíri and the legend of
Amroth.
The tales were collated and edited by J.R.R. Tolkien's
son and literary heir, Christopher Tolkien, who provides a short
commentary on each story, helping the reader to fill in the gaps and put
each story into the context of the rest of his father's writings.
