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

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

**This new hardcover edition brings together volumes VI-IX of _The History of Middle-earth_\--_The Return of the Shadow, The Treason of Isengard, The War of the Ring,_ and _Sauron Defeated_\--into one volume. Together these books give a fascinating and complete account of the writing of _The Lord of the Rings,_ and provide the reader with numerous additional scenes, together with rare maps and illustrations, which never made it into the final book, including the epilogue in its entirety.**

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_.
