Journey through darkness with Turin Turambar as he searches for his long-missing father in The Lay of the Children of Hurin, and join Beren and Luthien on their quest to cut a Silmaril from Morgoth's crown in The Lay of Leithian .

    I would recommend the entire history of middle earth. This is a paperback edition of the Lays of beleriand. The poems Tolkien wrote about Beren and Luthien, and Turin the hapless.
