.R.R. Tolkien is famous for his literary creation, exemplified in The Hobbit , The Lord of the Rings and The Silmarillion . He also produced a vast amount of further material that expands upon the mythology and numerous stories of Middle-Earth, and which 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 task of literary construction that Tolkien s youngest son and literary heir, Christopher, applied himself to, producing the series of twelve books, The History of Middle-Earth . This hardback edition edition brings together the final three volumes of The History of Middle-Earth : Morgoth s Ring , The War of the Jewels and The Peoples of Middle-Earth . It features dozens of rare maps and illustrations drawn by J.R.R. Tolkien.
