The sons of hurin5/21/2023 ![]() ![]() ![]() Some of the text will be familiar to fans from extracts and references within other Tolkien books but this is the first time the entire story has been presented in its complete form.Īs Adam Tolkien elaborated in a recent interview: ‘ This is a more difficult question than it seems: As you know, versions and pieces of the story of Húrin and his descendants have been published in various works (The Silmarillion, Unfinished Tales, The Book of Lost Tales, The Lays of Beleriand, etc). Tolkien worked on throughout his life, though he never realised his ambition to see it published in his lifetime. The Children of Húrin, begun in 1918, was one of three ‘Great Tales’ J.R.R. Q: How did The Children of Húrin come about? Once I will have more frequently asked questions, i'll try and get an answer from HarperCollins and make this Faq even bigger. All are very excited about the new Tolkien book and all want to know so many things about it! So I send some questions to HarperCollins and made it into THE CHILDREN OF HURIN FAQ. It seems a lot of people do ask me the same questions over and over again. ![]()
