Fourth series of hardcover that celebrates the literary success of Christopher Tolkien, with double-sided covers. Set 4 includes the works Morgoth's Ring, The War of the Jewels, The Peoples of Middle-earth, and The History of Middle-earth Index.

Morgoth's Ring is the first of two companion volumes that record the later writing of The Silmarillion. The entire text of the Annals of Aman, the ‘Blessed Land’ in the West, is fully presented, while further writings reveal the nature of the problems Tolkien explored in his later years, as new and radical ideas, heralding overturns to old narratives, emerged at the heart of the mythology.

The War of the Jewels continues the saga of the later history of The Silmarillion, as the narrative returns to Middle-earth and the fateful conflict of the High Elves and the Men who were their allies with the power of the Dark Lord.

The Peoples of Middle-earth is that cornerstone in Tolkien's history of Middle-earth, presenting a chronology of the later Ages, the genealogies of the Hobbits, and the Western language or Common Speech. Here there are also valuable writings from Tolkien's last years: “The New Shadow,” set in Gondor of the Fourth Age, and “Tal-elmar,” the story of the arrival of the Númenórean ships.

The History of Middle-earth Index this companion edition to the twelve-volume History gathers all the indexes in one place and provides the reader with an invaluable resource for all the peoples, places, and other significant references from The Silmarillion and The Lord of the Rings that appear in The History of Middle-earth.

Published together for the first time, these four books collect a fascinating period of Christopher Tolkien's forty-year career, dedicated to presenting the works of his father, J.R.R. Tolkien, on Middle-earth, a unique achievement that celebrates the greatest invented world in all of fantasy literature.
