Tolkien's First Age of the World. Always key to the story is the fate that shadowed their love: Beren was a mortal man, Lúthien an immortal Elf. Her father, a great Elvish lord, imposed on Beren an impossible task before he might wed Lúthien: to rob the greatest of all evil beings, Melkor, of a Silmaril.Painstakingly restored from Tolkien's manuscripts and presented for the first time as a continuous and standalone story, Beren and Lúthien reunites fans of The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings with Elves and Men, along with the rich landscape and creatures unique to Tolkien's Middle-earth. Christopher Tolkien tells the story in his father's own words by giving its original form as well as prose and verse passages from later texts that illustrate the narrative as it changed. -- from back cover. 650 0 $a Middle Earth (Imaginary place) $v Fiction. $9 240778 650 0 $a Elves $v Fiction. $9 213631 655 7 $a Fantasy fiction. $2 lcgft $9 802181 700 1 $a Tolkien, Christopher, $e editor. $9 161722 700 1 $a Lee, Alan, $e illustrator. $9 196064 941 $a 3 952 $l SIPD314 $d 20230201012306.0 952 $l FXPH314 $d 20220909045743.0 952 $l PGAX715 $d 20200826083059.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=CA5B4B52373811E9B7E2BD1697128E48 994 $a C0 $b KAYInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
