<strong>Fifth in a series of hardcover boxed sets celebrating the literary achievement of Christopher Tolkien, featuring double-sided dustjackets. This slipcase contains <em>Sir Gawain and the Green Knight</em>, <em>The Legend of Sigurd and Gudrun</em>, <em>The Fall of Arthur</em>, and <em>Beowulf: A Translation and Commentary</em>.</strong> <br/><br/><strong><em>Sir Gawain and the Green Knight</em></strong> and <strong><em>Pearl</em></strong> are two poems by an unknown author written in about 1400. <strong><em>Sir Gawain</em></strong> is a romance, a fairy-tale for adults, full of life and colour; <strong><em>Pearl</em></strong> is apparently an elegy on the death of a child but, like Gawain, it is also a sophisticated and moving debate on much less tangible matters. <strong><em>Sir Orfeo</em></strong> is a slighter romance, belonging to an earlier and different tradition. It was a special favourite of Tolkien's. The three translations are here uniquely accompanied with the complete text of Tolkien's acclaimed 1953 W.P. Ker Memorial Lecture that he delivered on <em>Sir Gawain</em>. <br/><br/><strong><em>The Legend of Sigurd and Gudrun </em></strong>tells the epic story of the Norse hero, Sigurd, the dragon-slayer, during a time of gods, betrayal and fierce battles, the revenge of his wife, Gudrun, and the Fall of the Nibelungs. Told in verse composed by J.R.R. Tolkien derived from the ancient poetry of the Poetic Edda and the prose <em>Voelsunga Saga</em>, this masterful fusion of myth and poetry is accompanied by notes and commentary by Christopher Tolkien. <br/><br/><strong><em>The Fall of Arthur </em></strong>tells the extraordinary story of the final days of England's legendary hero, King Arthur. It is the only venture by J.R.R. Tolkien into the legends of Arthur King of Britain, and may well be regarded as his finest and most skilful achievement in the use of the Old English alliterative metre. The long narrative poem is accompanied by significant if tantalising notes, in which can be discerned clear if mysterious associations of the Arthurian conclusion with <em>The Silmarillion.</em> <br/><br/>The translation of <strong><em>Beowulf</em></strong> by J.R.R. Tolkien was completed in 1926: he returned to it later but seems never to have considered its publication. This edition is twofold, for the translation is here paired with an illuminating written commentary on the poem by the translator himself, prepared for a series of lectures given at Oxford in the 1930s. From these lectures there arises a sense of the immediacy and clarity of his vision. It is as if Tolkien entered into the imagined past: standing beside Beowulf and his men shaking out their mail-shirts as they beached their ship on the coast of Denmark, listening to the rising anger of Beowulf at the taunting of Unferth, or looking up in amazement at Grendel's terrible hand set under the roof of Heorot. <br/><br/>These are accompanied by <strong><em>Sellic spell</em></strong>, a 'marvellous tale' written by Tolkien suggesting what might have been the form and style of an Old English folk-tale of Beowulf, in which there was no association with the 'historical legends' of the Northern kingdoms. <br/><br/>Published together for the first time, these four books - all edited by the author's son and literary executor - collect a fascinating period of Christopher Tolkien's forty-year career devoted to presenting his father J.R.R. Tolkien's scholarly writings on the myths and legends of northern Europe, a unique accomplishment that celebrates the academic brilliance and storytelling genius of one of the twentieth century's finest literary pioneers.

<strong>For the first time ever, a beautiful slipcased edition of the forerunner to <em>The Lord of the Rings</em>, illustrated throughout in colour by J.R.R. Tolkien himself, with the complete text printed in two colours and with many bonus features unique to this edition.</strong> <br/><br/>The Silmarilli were three perfect jewels, fashioned by Feanor, most gifted of the Elves, and within them was imprisoned the last Light of the Two Trees of Valinor. But the first Dark Lord, Morgoth, stole the jewels and set them within his iron crown, guarded in the impenetrable fortress of Angband in the north of Middle-earth. <br/><br/><em>The Silmarillion</em> is the history of the rebellion of Feanor and his kindred against the gods, their exile from Valinor and return to Middle-earth, and their war, hopeless despite all the heroism, against the great Enemy. It is the ancient drama to which the characters in <em>The Lord of the Rings</em> look back, and in whose events some of them such as Elrond and Galadriel took part. <br/><br/>The book also includes several shorter works: the <em>Ainulindale</em>, a myth of the Creation, and the <em>Valaquenta</em>, in which the nature and powers of each of the gods is described. The <em>Akallabeth</em> recounts the downfall of the great island kingdom of Numenor at the end of the Second Age, and <em>Of the Rings of Power</em> tells of the great events at the end of the Third Age, as narrated in <em>The Lord of the Rings</em>. <br/><br/>This deluxe slipcased edition contains the complete text, which is printed in two colours and features, for the very first time, more than 50 colour paintings, illustrations and designs drawn by J.R.R. Tolkien himself as he composed this epic work. <br/><br/>Unique to this edition are two poster-size, fold-out maps revealing all the detail of Beleriand as the tales grew, an illustrated booklet featuring 'A Brief Account of The Silmarillion and its Making' by Christopher Tolkien, and a printed art card reproducing 'Taniquetil'. <br/><br/>It is additionally quarterbound in blue leather, with raised ribs on the spine, stamped in three foils on black cloth boards, and housed in a custom-built clothbound slipcase. The pages are edged in silver and include a ribbon marker.
