Tolkien worked on throughout his life, though he never realized his ambition to see it published. Though familiar to many fans from extracts and references within other Tolkien books, it has long been assumed that the story would forever remain an unfinished tale. Now reconstructed by Christopher Tolkien, painstakingly editing together the complete work from his father's many drafts, this book is the culmination of a tireless thirty-year endeavor by him to bring J.R.R.Tolkien's vast body of unpublished work to a wide audience. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eHaving drawn the distinctive maps for the original \u003ci\u003eThe Lord of the Rings\u003c\/i\u003e more than 50 years ago, Christopher has also created a detailed new map for this book.
