About
In volumes ten and eleven of “The History of Middle-earth”, Christopher Tolkien recounts from the original texts the evolution of his father's work on “The Silmarillion”, the legendary history of the Elder Days or First Age, from the completion of “The Lord of the Rings” in 1949 until J. R. R. Tolkien's death.
In volume ten, “Morgoth's Ring”, the narrative was taken only as far as the natural dividing point in the work, when Morgoth destroyed the Trees of Light and fled from Valinor bearing the stolen Silmarils.
In “The War of the Jewels”, the story returns to Middle-earth and the ruinous conflict of the High Elves and the Men who were their allies with the power of the Dark Lord.
