Description

One of the three 'Great Tales' of the Elder Days, J.R.R. Tolkien's The Children of H�rin takes place in Middle-earth thousands of years before the events of The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings.

The Children of H�rin is the first complete book by Tolkien since the 1977 publication of The Silmarillion. Six thousand years before the One Ring is destroyed, Middle-earth lies under the shadow of the Dark Lord Morgoth. The greatest warriors among elves and men have perished, and all is in darkness and despair. But a deadly new leader rises, T�rin, son of H�rin, and with his grim band of outlaws begins to turn the tide in the war for Middle-earth--awaiting the day he confronts his destiny and the deadly curse laid upon him.
