Leaf by Niggle. HarperCollins, London, 2016. The first stand-alone edition of this short story and published to coincide with a touring stage production of the story, this also features an ‘afterword’ by Tom Shippey that was originally in 2008’s edition of Tales from the Perilous Realm. Beren and Lúthien. Ed. Christopher Tolkien. HarperCollins, London, 2017. Painstakingly restored from Tolkien’s manuscripts by Christopher Tolkien the publisher’s claim that this presented a fully continuous and standalone story has meant some readers expected a book more akin to The Children of Húrin, rather than collated variant versions of the tale in a ‘history in sequence’ mode.

In 1979, Tolkien's son Christopher began the process of bringing his father's artwork to the world's attention, beyond the images already published at that time on calendars, by editing Pictures by J.R.R. Tolkien. [T 10] It had 48 plates, some in colour. [6] This new edition is in a similar format to both The Art of The Hobbit by J.R.R. Tolkien and The Art of The Lord of the Rings, and includes the original commentary by Christopher Tolkien providing useful information on his father. The blurb from the publisher is as follows:Tolkien worked on making realistic artefacts to accompany his writing; he spent enormous effort on a facsimile Book of Mazarbul to resemble the burnt, torn volume abandoned at the tomb of the Dwarf-leader Balin in the subterranean realm of Moria; in the story, the wizard Gandalf finds the book and struggles to read out a substantial amount of the damaged text. [1] [T 4] Tolkien carefully stained the artefact's materials, actually burning in the burn-marks and tearing the paper to make it as authentic as possible. [1] He anxiously wrote to his publisher Rayner Unwin asking about the reproduction of the artefact. [T 5] The company however chose not to include an image of the book in the first edition, prompting Tolkien to remark that without it the text at the start of "The Bridge of Khazad-Dûm" was "rather absurd". [T 3] The Doors of Durin [ edit ] With Christopher Tolkien as your guide, take a tour through this colourful gallery of enchanting art produced by J.R.R. Tolkien and presented in an elegant new slipcased edition.

Beowulf : A Translation and Commentary, together with Sellic Spell. Ed. Christopher Tolkien. HarperCollins, London, 2014. The long-awaited Tolkien’s-own 1926 translation of Beowulf, coupled with his own commentary and selections from his lecture notes on the text, plus his ‘Sellic spell’ wherein Tolkien created an imaginary ‘asterisk’ source for the Beowulf of legend. The Lays of Beleriand. Ed. Christopher Tolkien. The History of Middle-earth: Vol. 3. George Allen and Unwin, London, 1985. After Tolkien's death, his son Christopher published a series of works based on his father's extensive notes and unpublished manuscripts, including The Silmarillion. These, together with The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings, form a connected body of tales, poems, fictional histories, invented languages, and literary essays about a fantasy world called Arda and, within it, Middle-earth. Between 1951 and 1955, Tolkien applied the term legendarium to the larger part of these writings. Grovier, Kelly (27 April 2007). "In the name of the father". The Observer.

The Monsters and the Critics, and Other Essays · Beowulf and the Critics · Tolkien On Fairy-stories · Parallel to Tolkien's professional work as a philologist, and sometimes overshadowing this work, to the effect that his academic output remained rather thin, was his affection for constructing languages. The most developed of these are Quenya and Sindarin, the etymological connection between which formed the core of much of Tolkien's legendarium. Language and grammar for Tolkien was a matter of aesthetics and euphony, and Quenya in particular was designed from "phonaesthetic" considerations; it was intended as an "Elven-latin", and was phonologically based on Latin, with ingredients from Finnish, Welsh, English, and Greek.
