托爾金曾形容中土世界的第二紀元是「黑暗時代」，僅在《魔戒》與附錄中留下片段記載，如力量之戒的鑄造、巴拉督爾的建立，以及索倫的崛起。《努門諾爾的陷落》由 Brian Sibley 編選，依據《魔戒》附錄「年代記」時間線，將托爾金於不同作品中對第二紀元的敘述匯集成完整編年史，包括《精靈寶鑽》、《未完成的故事》與《中土世界的歷史》系列的內容。書中由 Alan Lee 以水彩與鉛筆繪製全新插畫，重現努門諾爾的興盛與滅亡，以及精靈與人類最後同盟的史詩篇章。J.R.R. Tolkien famously described the Second Age of Middle-earth as a ‘dark age, and not very much of its history is (or need be) told’. And for many years readers would need to be content with the tantalizing glimpses of it found within the pages of The Lord of the Rings and its appendices, including the forging of the Rings of Power, the building of the Barad-dûr and the rise of Sauron. It was not until Christopher Tolkien published The Silmarillion after his father’s death that a fuller story could be told. Although much of the book’s content concerned the First Age of Middle-earth, there were at its close two key works that revealed the tumultuous events concerning the rise and fall of the island of Númenor. Raised out of the Great Sea and gifted to the Men of

Tolkien, spanning almost seven decades of the author’s life and presented in an elegant three-volume hardback boxed set. Winner of the 2025 Mythopoeic Scholarship Award in Inkling Studies J.R.R.Tolkien aspired to be a poet in the first instance, and poetry was part of his creative life no less than his prose, his languages, and his art. Although Tolkien’s readers are aware that he wrote poetry, if only from verses in The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings, its extent is not well known, and its qualities are underappreciated. Within his larger works of fiction, poems help to establish character and place as well as furth

Mr Bliss, a man notable for his immensely tall hats and for the girabbit in his garden, takes the whimsical decision to buy a motor car. But his first drive to visit friends quickly becomes a catalogue of disasters… J.R.R. Tolkien invented and illustrated the book of Mr Bliss’s adventures for his own children when they were very young.The book was handwritten with lots of detailed and uproarious colour pictures.

Republished in hardback to match his Letters from Father Christmas and other illustrated Tolkien editions, Mr Bliss is presented as a conventional illustrated storybook, and also with Tolkien's handwritten pages in facsimile at the back, and is sure to delight Tolkien fan
