The stories of the Elves, Men and the Evil beings of the Middle Earth are all now set in the JRR Tolkien's latest book called the 'Children of Hurin'. The book was edited by his 3rd child Christopher Tolkien due to the incomplete work left behind by his father.
I'd just bought this book from a book fare exhibition in KLCC for the price of RM59.90 where it was retailed at RM79.90. A good price offered for a good book from a great author! This story is the continous unaccounted epidoes in The Silmarillion, The Unfinished Tales, & The History of Middle Earth (12 episodes).
As a fan of the story of The Hobbits + The Lord Of The Rings (FOTR/TTT/ROTK) i find this book interesting to enchance my knowledge on the story made assimilated to the story from his (JRR Tolkien) experience during the World War 1. After reading his 2 earliest work, i just can't take my eyes of the story of the elves, the numenoreans etc. Thus making me more LOTR hype! Everytime i went for an outing, if i find anything from JRR Tolkien's work or any merchandise relating to it. I'd try to buy it to satisfy my hunger & interest in the story. Heck, there goes my pocket money. Hehe.
If there's one thing that i'd a very high respect for Professor JRR Tolkien is because he was a Professor at the University of Oxford. The place where they breed respectable intellect in numerous field. Thankfully this site survived the German bombing therefore can be accounted at one of the best city to be at!
N'way, i'm going to spend my good time reading it now. For those who haven't got their copy on this, get it only if u're interested in the JRR Tolkien's previous work.
