Painstakingly restored from Tolkien’s manuscripts and presented for the first time as a fully continuous and standalone story, this illustrated paperback of the epic tale of The Children of Húrin will reunite fans of The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings with Elves, dragons, Dwarves and Orcs, and the rich landscape and characters unique to Tolkien. It is a legendary time long before The Lord of the Rings, and Morgoth, the first Dark Lord, dwells in the vast fortress of Angband in the North; and within the shadow of the fear of Angband, and the war waged by Morgoth against the Elves, the fates of Túrin and his sister Niënor will be tragically entwined. Their brief and passionate lives are dominated by the elemental hatred that Morgoth bears them as the children of Húrin, the man who dared to defy him to his face. Against them Morgoth sends his most formidable servant, Glaurung, a powerful spirit in the form of a huge wingless dragon of fire, in an attempt to fulfil the curse of Morgoth, and destroy the children of Húrin. Begun by J.R.R. Tolkien at the end of the First World War, The Children of Húrin became the dominant story in his later work on Middle-earth. But he could not bring it to a final and finished form. In this book Christopher Tolkien has constructed, after long study of the manuscripts, a coherent narrative without any editorial invention.

J. R. R. Tolkien engleski je književnik, pjesnik, filolog i sveučilišni profesor koji je najpoznatiji kao autor djela: Hobit, Gospodar prstenova i Silmarillion. Nakon Tolkienove smrti, njegov sin Christopher je objavio niz radova na temelju opsežnih bilješka i neobjavljenih rukopisa svoga oca, uključujući i Silmarillion koji se zajedno sa Hobitom i Gospodarom prstenova čini spojenu strukturu priča, pjesama, fiktivne povijesti te izumljenog jezika i književnih eseja o svjetovima zvanim Međuzemlje i Arda. Između 1951. i 1955. godine, Tolkien primjenjuje naziv legendarium za veći dio tih spisa. Iako su mnogi drugi autori objavljivali radove iz područja fantazije prije Tolkiena, veliki uspjeh Hobita i Gospodara prstenova je dovelo do izravnog populariziranja ovog žanra . Prema tome Tolkien se popularno identificira kao "otac modernog fantastičke literature. Godine 2008, prema listu The Times rangiran je kao šesti na popisu "50 najvećih britanskih pisaca od 1945. godine".
