# The History of Middle-Earth, Part One - Hardcover

by **Christopher Tolkien** (Author), **J. R. R. Tolkien** (Author)

**This new hardcover edition brings together the first five volumes of _The History of Middle-earth_\--_The Book of Lost Tales,_ Parts 1 and 2, _The Lays of Beleriand,_ _The Shaping of Middle-earth,_ and _The Lost Road_\--into one volume.**

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 Tolkien's youngest son and literary heir, Christopher, applied himself to produce the monumental and endlessly fascinating series of twelve volumes, _The History of Middle-earth_.
