Beren and Lúthien by J.R.R. Tolkien – De Luxe Edition, 2017

Still-Sealed First Printing of a Core Tale from Tolkien’s Legendarium

This deluxe edition of Beren and Lúthien, published by HarperCollins in 2017, presents one of the most enduring and central stories in Tolkien’s mythology. Carefully edited by Christopher Tolkien and illustrated by Alan Lee, it offers readers the evolution of the tale from its earliest poetic form through to its narrative prose development. Set during the First Age, the love story of the mortal Beren and the immortal elf Lúthien stands as one of the most powerful inspirations behind The Silmarillion and even The Lord of the Rings.
