In case you couldn’t tell, I’ve become very interested again in Tolkien and his works. I’ve already read the Silmarillion, The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings Trilogy many times, but I’ve never read his son’s collections of his father’s writings. So today I bought four books:
- The Book of Lost Tales 1 - Volume 1 of the History of Middle Earth Series (HoME)
- The Book of Lost Tales 2 - Volume 2 of the HoME Series
- Unfinished Tales of Numenor and Middle Earth - A separate book from the HoME series, but with other excellent tales
- The Return of the Shadow - Volume 6 of the HoME Series
These are just four out of 13 books that I know of in this series. Amazingly, Amazon doesn’t have all of the books in the series, so I would have to order them from other book sellers at a later date.
I also discovered another book I already had from Tolkien, but forgot about. It’s a collection of three old, translated stories called Sir Gawain and the Green Knight, Pearl and Sir Orfeo. I haven’t read this, but will sometime soon.
