The Children of Hurin Hardcover – Illustrated, 17 April 2007

Only Tolkien can create such epic worlds and weave such complex but intriguing narratives. The amount of detail and interlinked characters are mind boggling. All praise to Christopher Tolkien for such wonderful job of editing his fathers works and bringing to us this epic tale. Must read for all fantasy readers and hope to see movie adaptation in the future

It's a fantastic book which gives deep insights into the first age.The Children of Hurin along with Beren and Luthien and The Fall of Gondolin let's us know as to how it all started.Christopher Tolkien has done a great job in completing his father's life's work. In fact it's also his life's work too. Saddened by the news of his demise. May his soul RIP. The middle earth will be always indebted to them.

I received the book in a pretty decent condition. The overall condition of the book is good but the dust jacket is a bit old and crumpled. Otherwise , I really got this book in decent condition especially considering the price point I got the book.

Simply put, this book is an elaboration of Chapter XXI of The Silmarillion (Of Túrin Turambar). You'll experience the woes and lamentations of Turin son of Hurin as never stated before. Personally, I can say that J.R.R.Tolkien is among the greatest authors of all time!Cheerio!

Its little sad and tragic...but never lose the beauty of JRRT's world of magic

Darkest of all Tolkein tales...And yes..It's my favorite

Great

An epic fantasy from the master of fantasies, J.R.R. Tolkien. If you are intrested to know what happened before the land of shire gave us bilbo and frodo baggins this is definitely for you.
