Tolkien is famous the world over for his unique literary creation, exemplified in <i>The Hobbit, The Lord of the Rings, </i> and <i>The Silmarillion.</i> What is less well known, however, is that he also produced a vast amount of further material that greatly expands upon the mythology and numerous stories of Middle-earth, and which gives added life to the thousand-year war between the Elves and the evil spirit Morgoth, and his terrifying lieutenant, Sauron. <p/> It was to this enormous task of literary construction that Tolkien's youngest son and literary heir, Christopher, applied himself to produce the monumental and endlessly fascinating series of twelve volumes, <i>The History of Middle-earth</i>. <br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>J.R.R.
