Painstakingly restored from Tolkien’s manuscripts and presented for the first time as a fully continuous and standalone story, this paperback of the epic tale of The Children of Húrin will reunite fans of The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings with Elves, dragons, Dwarves and Orcs, and the rich landscape and characters unique to Tolkien.It is a legendary time long before The Lord of the Rings, and Morgoth, the first Dark Lord, dwells in the vast fortress of Angband in the North; and within the shadow of the fear of Angband, and the war waged by Morgoth against the Elves, the fates of Túrin and his sister Niënor will be tragically entwined.Their brief and passionate lives are dominated by the elemental hatred that Morgoth bears them as the children of Húrin, the man who dared to defy him to his face. Against them Morgoth sends his most formidable servant, Glaurung, a powerful spirit in the form of a huge wingless dragon of fire, in an attempt to fulfil the curse of Morgoth, and destroy the children of Húrin.Begun by J.R.R. Tolkien at the end of the First World War, The Children of Húrin became the dominant story in his later work on Middle-earth. But he could not bring it to a final and finished form. In this book Christopher Tolkien has constructed, after long study of the manuscripts, a coherent narrative without any editorial invention.

Product description

About the Author

John Ronald Reuel Tolkien was born on the 3rd January, 1892 at Bloemfontein in the Orange Free State, but at the age of four he and his brother were taken back to England by their mother. After his father’s death the family moved to Sarehole, on the south-eastern edge of Birmingham. Tolkien spent a happy childhood in the countryside and his sensibility to the rural landscape can clearly be seen in his writing and his pictures.

Christopher Tolkien, born on 21st November 1924, is the third son of J.R.R. Tolkien. Appointed by Tolkien to be his literary executor, he has devoted himself since his father's death in 1973 to the editing and publication of unpublished writings, notably The Silmarillion and Beowulf, and the collections entitled Unfinished Tales and The History of Middle-earth. Since 1975 he has lived in France with his wife Baillie.

The story of Turin Turambar - The Black Sword

Reviewed in India 🇮🇳 on 20 January 2020

Verified Purchase

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.

Tolkien is among the greatest authors of all time

Reviewed in India 🇮🇳 on 14 November 2014

Verified Purchase

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!

Different finish to Beren and Lúthien + The Fall of Gondolin

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on 20 September 2020

Verified Purchase

I purchased The Children of Húrin hardback to replace a paperback copy which I had gifted away, having since purchased Beren and Lúthien & The Fall of Gondolin as hardbacks.

The book is as excellent as I remember it being, and the full colour illustrations by Alan Lee are as extraordinary as ever. For any fan of Tolkien, be it from film or book, this is a must read.

I was disappointed to find out that between publishing this and Beren and Lúthien that the publisher had decided to change the finish of the dustjacket. I now have two lovely looking books on my shelf in a nice matte, textured finish with debossed, lettering and a white logo/text on the spine with this sat beside it in a horribly reflective gloss all over and mismatched lettering on the spine.
I am pleased that the latter two publications came in a much nicer dustjacket but am rather disappointed to find that The Children of Húrin was never updated to match - unless there is a copy out there somewhere which I have never found! If this does exist I will be sure to be replacing my copy (again).

Edit: I've now discovered that there is a new edition and have it on my shelf! Careful when ordering from Amazon if this does matter to you, as it seems to be pot luck as to which one you'll get.

Tolkien's great tragedy repackaged

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on 27 April 2022

Verified Purchase

The Children of Hurin was Tolkien's attempt to write a tragedy. A version of it was contained in The Silmarillion, but Christopher Tolkien compiled and edited every version and revision of the story, and published it as a standalone novel.
This is that book. An essential addition to any Tolkien lover's bookshelf. One of the great stories of the First Age.

Great book

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on 29 October 2018

Verified Purchase

I battled through the Silmarillion as a teenager. I truly didn’t enjoy it because it was so different from the Hobbit and LotR. It’s only now do you really appreciate just how complex and beautiful the world Tolkien conceived actually was.

This is a great historical book set in the 1st Age of Middle Earth, before Sauron and his Rings, before Hobbits and Gandalf etc. It is a stand alone story, but it fills in historical gaps that are aluded to in the LotR.

Archaic Text

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on 27 December 2020

Verified Purchase

Written in an archaic text style that takes a little time to get into the rhythm of. The CoH is a tale from the 1st age of Middle Earth, and so is set thousands of years before TLORs; the style of the text reflects this, almost biblical.

As a narrative it’s a sweeping tragedy, spanning a full (human) lifetime of the cursed Turin. Place names and peoples take some understanding, and without being a Tolkien scholar you either have the choice of constant references to the maps and appendices or just going with it and hoping that you catch the drift. Either way it’s still a well constructed tale, albeit one pieced together from notes and partially finished works by the original authors grandson. Taking a step back from this and judging the book as a stand-alone piece of fiction, it’s certainly engaging and like many a piece of tragedy a bit like watching a car crash in slow motion.

An amazing journey

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on 6 November 2021

Verified Purchase

It may cover material/storyline points that were already written in the Silmarillion, but as someone who has read both versions many, many times, the Children of Húrin book is so, so much more than a restatement. It’s easier to read than the Silmarillion, despite the fact that it still has quite a bit of geography and genealogy, and it moves me so deeply that every time I read it I have to stop in the middle, put the book down, and cry on the living room floor. If you like to suffer in a good way, read this book— I can’t recommend it enough
