Review

"A bleak, darkly beautiful tale played out against the background of the First Age of Tolkien's Middle Earth, The Children of H·rin possesses the mythic resonance and grim sense of inexorable fate found in Greek tragedy."

"THE CHILDREN OF HURIN opens slowly but soon develops into a compelling tale of doom and tragic climax, with an eerie dreamlike beauty....[Tolkien's] extraordinary popular success...arises not just from his a desire to escape into a world of make-believe. It rests on h is power to awake in us as sense of our links with our own remote past and of the vital myths that underlie our existence."

Annotation

J.R.R. Tolkien's THE CHILDREN OF HURIN was begun in 1918, and has since been pieced together from his estate by his son, Christopher. The book has been greatly anticipated by Tolkien's legions of fans: the LORD OF THE RINGS crowd is sure to rejoice over its final release. While HURIN gives an insightful and fascinating look at the beginnings of Middle Earth, the story will likely entertain even those who are new to the world of hobbits.
