ISBN10: 0048231398, ISBN13: 9780048231390, [publisher: George Allen & Unwin, London] Hardcover First Edition 1st/1st - THE SILMARILLION - Christopher Tolkien's own masterpiece about the labours his father put into his wonderful creation, The Lord of the Rings, and all that went with it. The world that J.R.R. Tolkien created from his own mind was so detailed - the trilogy epic, in fact, took place in just one part of that world, and at one time - that the copious notes he left about Middle Earth took Christopher years to assemble in his now classic editing of his father's genius, The Silmarillion.

Tolkien worked on it, changed it, and enlarged it throughout his entire life. It was edited and published posthumously by his son Christopher Tolkien.- contains the stories: 'Quenta Silmarillion', 'Ainulindale', 'Valaquenta' and 'Akallabeth'. - Published after Tolkien's ...
