This very special collector's edition brings together all twelve books
into three hardcover volumes--more than 5,000 pages of fascinating
Tolkien material--and places them in one matching box. The History Of
Middle-Earth Boxed Set is a treasured boxed set for every Tolkien
fan.
J.R.R. Tolkien is famous the world over for his unique literary
creation, exemplified in The Hobbit, The Lord of the Rings, and The
Silmarillion. What is less well known, however, is that he also
produced a vast amount of further material that greatly 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 enormous task of literary construction that Tolkien's
youngest son and literary heir, Christopher, applied himself to produce
the monumental and endlessly fascinating series of twelve volumes, The
History of Middle-earth.
