Tales told through the ages of quests and curses, enduring love and immeasurable tragedyThe power of Tolkiens central characters-tragic, cursed Túrin; the lovers Beren and Lúthien-shines through.-Library JournalGathering together two of the most crucial stories in Tolkiens world-those of Turin, a hero living under a ruinous family curse, and Luthien, an elven princess whose love for a mortal man is mirrored ages later in Arwen and Aragorn-The Lays of Beleriand sheds light on the creation of the mythology of Middle-earth.Journey through darkness with Turin Turambar as he searches for his long-missing father in The Lay of the Children of Hurin, and join Beren and Luthien on their quest to cut a Silmaril from Morgoths crown in The Lay of Leithian. Both narratives appear here in alliterative verse and are accompanied by Christopher Tolkiens commentary on the evolution of the history of the Elder Days. Also included is critical analysis by C. S. Lewis of The Lay of Leithian.
