![]() ![]() ![]() All three of these contain significant amounts of re-printed text from The Unfinished Tales and The History of Middle-earth. ![]() Beren and Lúthien and The Fall of Gondolin are collections of the varying versions of those tales, stitched together in a directly readable order. The Children of Húrin is a complete and detailed version of that story. They require an understanding of the First Age stories to appreciate. The Great Tales trilogy are stories from The Silmarillion in more detailed forms. The Silmarillion does not presume that you have read The Lord of the Rings, but would probably not be interesting to someone who is not already invested in Middle-earth. (You may very well be able to get away without reading it, but there are clear back-references.) The Lord of the Rings presumes that you have read The Hobbit. ![]()
