Long before the One Ring was forged in the fires of Mount Doom, one manHrindared to defy Morgoth, the first and greatest of the dark lords to plague Middleearth. Thus did he and his children, Trin and Ninor, earn the enmity of a merciless foe that would shape the destiny of all the ages to come.Only J.R.R. Tolkien, the undisputed master of the fantastic, could have conceived this magical tale of Elves and Men united against a brutal foe. And only Christopher Tolkien, the masters son and literary heir, could have fit the pieces of his fathers unfinished work together with such deep understanding and consummate artistry. With an introduction and appendiCes by Christopher Tolkien, who has also contributed maps and genealogy tables, and eight stunning paintings and twentyfive pencil drawings by Oscarwinning artist Alan Lee, The Children of Hrin at last takes its proper place as the very cornerstone of J.R.R. Tolkiens immortal achievement.
