The second of two companion volumes which documents the later
writing of The Silmarillion, Tolkien's epic tale of war. In The War
of the Jewels Christopher Tolkien takes up his account of the later
history of The Silmarillion from the point where it was left in
Morgoth's Ring. The story now returns to Middle-earth, and the
ruinous conflict of the High Elves and the Men who were their
allies with the power of the Dark Lord. With the publication in
this book all of J.R.R. Tolkien's later narrative writing concerned
with the last centuries of the First Age, the long history of The
Silmarillion, from its beginning in The Book of Lost Tales, is
completed; and the enigmatic state of the work at his death can be
understood. This book contains the full text of the Grey Annals,
the primary record of The War of the Jewels, and a major story of
Middle-earth now published for the first time: the tale of the
disaster that overtook the forest people of Brethil when Hurin the
Steadfast came among them after his release from long years of
captivity in Angband, the fortress of Morgoth.
