The Complete History of Middle-Earth - Boxed Set (Hardcover, New ed)

The complete 12-book History of Middle-earth, printed in three volumes and set in a matching box. 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 his Tolkien's youngest son and literary heir, Christopher, applied himself to produce the monumental and endlessly fascinating series of twelve books, The History of Middle-earth. This very special collector's edition brings together all twelve books into three hardback volumes -- over 5,000 pages of fascinating Tolkien material -- and places them in one matching box.

Beautiful

Thu, 6 Aug 2015 | Review by: RipVW

This boxed set is truly stunning, and is important for any serious Tolkien readers/scholars. There are a number of detailed reviews available online and a few video reviews on YT if you would like more information. I recommend this set together with the Reader's Companion and any of the hardcover limited edition collector sets. A special thanks to the Loot crew for delivering my set in an undamaged, unmarked and expertly wrapped package! The price of this item is higher than what most average reader's may be comfortable with, but it is truly a once-in-a-lifetime buy and affords the reader a very special insight into the Professor's legendarium. Highly recommended.
