Description: The Lays of Beleriand by J.R.R. Tolkien The History of Middle-earth, Volume 3edited by Christopher Tolkien *1994 US Ballantine Del Rey Paperback Edition / 1st Printing* - Published by Ballantine Books; United States - Cover art by John Howe For sale is the third volume of Christopher Tolkien’s The History of Middle-earth series: The Lays of Beleriand by J.R.R. Tolkien. The book contains the long "lays" or poems Tolkien wrote: these are The Lay of the Children of Húrin about the saga of Túrin Turambar, and The Lay of Leithian (also called Release from Bondage) about Beren and Lúthien. Although Tolkien abandoned them before their respective ends, they are both long enough to occupy many stanzas, each of which can last for over ten pages. The first poem is in alliterative verse, and the second is in rhyming couplets. Both exist in two versions. In addition to these two poems, the book also gives three short, soon-abandoned alliterative poems, which are The Flight of the Noldoli from Valinor, The Lay of Eärendel, and The Lay of the Fall of Gondolin.
