Unfinished Tales: The Lost Lore of Middle-earth 82 reviews J.R.R. Tolkien
Del Rey, 1988
This is a great collection of Tolkien work!
+ Unfinished Tales + Unfinished Tales
I read this book very quickly because I was so fascinated by all the works that Tolkien left unfinished at the time of his death. His son did a beautiful job of compiling these works into an organized book and I really enjoyed it.
