The Legend of Sigurd and Gudrún by J.R.R. Tolkien – De Luxe Edition, 2009

A Sealed First Printing of Tolkien’s Norse-Inspired Epic

This de luxe edition of The Legend of Sigurd and Gudrún was published by HarperCollins in 2009 and presents, for the first time, J.R.R. Tolkien’s previously unknown retellings of Norse legends. Composed in the 1930s in alliterative verse, these poetic works reflect Tolkien’s deep engagement with the Völsung and Niflung cycles, mythologies that would influence his later Middle-earth legendarium. Edited with commentary by Christopher Tolkien, this volume offers rich insight into the Professor’s linguistic mastery and literary craft.
