Description: The epic story of the elves continues in Tolkien's posthumously published history of Middle Earth. Including enlightening backstory information not available anywhere else, "The Silmarillion" is a necessary acquistion for all Tolkien fans. Completely unabridged and also available on CD.

Set in a time far earlier than Tolkien's master works, The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings, this is the epic history of the elves, and the grand story of the creation of Tolkien's magical world. The Lord of the Rings narrated the great events at the end of the Third Age; but the tales of The Silmarillion are legends deriving from a much deeper past, when Morgoth, the first Dark Lord, dwelt in Middle-earth, and the High Elves made war upon him for the recovery of the Silmarils. Never published in the author's lifetime, "The Silmarillion" is an essential compendium for all Tolkien fans. It will be published in five consecutive volumes, each completely unabridged and also available on CD. The series contains not only the Quenta Silmarillion, but four other short works: the Ainulindale, Valaquenta, Akallabeth and Of the Rings of Power.

Time Magazine called it "Majestic...fans of The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings will find in (this work) a cosmology to call their own...medieval romances, fierce fairy tales, and fiercer wars...it overwhelms (the listener)".
