Hey Hobbit-Heads! The next episode in the saga of Middle-Earth is now in the Jamestown GTCC library, The Tale of the Children of Hurin.
For those familiar with The Silimillarion, not much of this will be new. The Tale of the Children of Hurin expands on those sections of The Simillarion that deal with this sad tale of the fate of the children of the human warrior Hurin, who is first captured and then cursed by Morgoth when he refuses to submit. The curse of a former Valar is a heavy thing, and evil follows Turin, his mother, and his sister throughout their lives.
For anyone who thinks the works of J.R.R Tolkien are all about the good guys winning, this book will be an eye-opener. At the time in the history of Middle-Earth where The Tale of the Children of Hurin is set, not much is going well for the cause of Goodness and Right. In fact, things are going quite poorly for those who struggle against the Shadow.
It is here, and it is a new tale of Middle-Earth. My fellow Hobbit-Heads, rejoice! For the rest of you, if you are not familiar with the wondrous works of the Master of Middle-Earth, there is no time like the present. Your GTCC libraries can provide with you The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings, and that will get you started. Come, experience the wonder!
