ISBN:0048232653
George Allen & Unwin, 1984. First Edition, Second Impression. Fine in near fine dustwrapper. Appears to be an unread copy.
No Inscriptions. Not clipped. The dustjacket has a couple of minor nicks, otherwise an excellent Clean tight copy.
This second part of The Book of Lost Tales includes the tale of Beren and Luthien, Turin and the Dragon, and the only full narratives of the Necklace of the Dwarves and the Fall of Gondolin, itself the finest and most exciting depiction of a battle that Tolkien ever wrote. Each tale is followed by a commentary in the form of a short essay, together with texts of associated poems, and contains extensive information on names and vocabulary in the earliest Elvish languages.
