The Children of Húrin

This tale is briefly mentioned in chapter 21 of The Silmarillion as the context for the wars of Beleriand. The Children of Húrin is a collection of J.R.R. Tolkien’s manuscripts (edited by Christopher Tolkien to form a complete narrative) that can feel disjointed at times, but is worth reading for those of us who need every scrap of detail we can get our hands on!
