The Children of Húrin (Hardback)

J. R. R. Tolkien

Overview

Set in the First Age of Middle-earth, the novel follows Túrin Turambar, son of Húrin, cursed by Morgoth. The narrative traces his exile, rise as an outlaw captain, and entanglement with the dragon Glaurung. Told in a somber heroic style, the story stands as one of Tolkien’s most tragic tales, expanding the legends only hinted at in The Silmarillion.
