The Silmarillion by J.R.R Tolkien

If Tolkien is the reason you fell in love with Middle-earth, The Silmarillion is where that love goes deeper. Written alongside his more famous works but published posthumously in 1977, it is the ancient history behind everything, the creation of the world, the rise of the first Dark Lord, and the wars and tragedies that shaped every corner of the stories you already know.

At the heart of it all are the Silmarilli, three perfect jewels stolen by that first Dark Lord and fought over across ages of heartbreak and heroism by Elves, Men, and gods alike. Characters you met in The Lord of the Rings, like Elrond and Galadriel, lived through these events, and reading this is the moment those names finally get their full weight.

This special edition makes it even more worth savoring, illustrated throughout in color by Tolkien himself, so the world he imagined comes to life in his own hand.
