Unboxing the newest History of Middle-earth Box Set! We've now gotten 3 of the 4.

Box Set 3

Box Set 2

Box Set 1

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION:
Third in a series of hardcover boxed sets celebrating the literary achievement of Christopher Tolkien, featuring double-sided dustjackets. Set 3 contains The Return of the Shadow, The Treason of Isengard, The War of the Ring, and Sauron Defeated (Books 6-9 of The History of Middle-earth).

The Return of the Shadow is the story of the first part of the history of the creation of The Lord of the Rings, a fascinating study of Tolkien’s great masterpiece, from its inception to the end of the first volume, The Fellowship of the Ring.

The Treason of Isengard continues the account of the creation of The Lord of the Rings started in the earlier volume, tracing the great expansion of the tale into new lands and peoples south and east of the Misty Mountains: the emergence of Lothlorien, of Ents, of the Riders of Rohan, and of Saruman the White in the fortress of Isengard.

The War of the Ringtakes up the story with the Battle of Helm’s Deep and the drowning of Isengard by the Ents, continues with the journey of Frodo, Sam and Gollum to the Pass of Cirith Ungol, describes the war in Gondor, and ends with the parley between Gandalf and the ambassador of the Dark Lord before the Black Gate of Mordor.

Sauron Defeated completes Christopher Tolkien's fascinating study of The Lord of the Rings, beginning with Sam’s rescue of Frodo from the Tower of Cirith Ungol, and giving a very different account of the Scouring of the Shire, with many additional scenes and the unpublished Epilogue in its entirety.

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

I simply love how you gush when talking about Christopher and his contribution to what we fans are able to learn, drool over, see, and evaluate from the effusive work Christopher created regarding his father’s work. JRR Tolkien love his world (thank Eru!), Christopher loved his father work (we are all so lucky), and you continually to remind us how all of us should love Christopher’s diligent and methodical sharing of his father’s work to us. Thank you!

I didn't realize these box sets were a thing but after seeing this video I ordered/pre-ordered the entire series.

If it wasn't for Christopher Tolkien, we wouldn't have anything after The Lord of the Rings, including everything from The Silmarillion forward was compiled and edited by Christopher. He followed in his father's footsteps academically, and spent the better part of 3 decades and more publishing and bringing his father's life's work and all the histories of Middle Earth to the world. All J.R.R. Tolkien fans world wide owe him a great debt of gratitude. No one else could have done taken on such a herculean task, or have been more faithful and truer to the effort, and we are forever thankful! 🧙‍♂

Based on the nature of this series the classic covers do feel more appropriate. Yet that being said I love the art work of these books
