The Children of Húrin by J.R.R. Tolkien
Published posthumously in 2007 and edited by Christopher Tolkien, The Children of Húrin expands upon one of the great tragedies of Middle-earth’s First Age. Long before The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings, this epic tale unfolds in the shadow of Morgoth, the first Dark Lord. It follows the fate of Túrin Turambar and his sister Nienor—children of Húrin—whose lives are bound by both heroism and sorrow.

Steeped in the grandeur of high mythology, this stand-alone novel offers Tolkien’s readers a deeper glimpse into the ancient legends of The Silmarillion. With Alan Lee’s haunting illustrations in many editions, The Children of Húrin is both a collector’s treasure and an unforgettable tale of courage, doom, and destiny.
