| rdfs:comment | - The Children of Húrin is the most recently published story to take place in Middle-earth. It was started by J.R.R. Tolkien in 1918 and had been revised many times, but it wasn't published until 2007, when more than thirty years of notes written by Tolkien were compiled and edited by his son, Christopher. It is a closer account of the story of the wanderings and deeds of Túrin Turambar, son of Húrin, and his sister Niënor, their struggle against fate (and the curse cast upon Húrin's kin), as well as the tragic end of their lives and that of their mother, Morwen.

- The Children of Húrin is one of the many works of J.R.R. Tolkien to be published posthumously. It details the life of Túrin Turambar, as well as his father, mother, and sister, including the sack of Nargothrond and the defeat of Glaurung. Which, in essence, means that it is about 320 pages of both Húrin and Túrin whining about how much their lives suck. To be fair, they do suck, but that doesn't mean that they have to whine that much about it.
- A Dark Fantasy novel by JRR Tolkien, it was edited posthumously by his son Christopher. This is one of Tolkien's "Great Tales" of the First Age of Middle-earth--one of the earliest and most elaborated tales. It exists in many versions, both in prose and in poetry, some almost complete and some as fragments. The various versions and parts have previously been published in The Silmarillion, Unfinished Talesof Numenor and Middleearth, and The History of Middle Earth known as Narn i Chîn Húrin (aka "The Narn"), but the published novel The Children of Húrin is the first to compile it all into a single complete text.

| abstract | - A Dark Fantasy novel by JRR Tolkien, it was edited posthumously by his son Christopher. This is one of Tolkien's "Great Tales" of the First Age of Middle-earth--one of the earliest and most elaborated tales. It exists in many versions, both in prose and in poetry, some almost complete and some as fragments. The various versions and parts have previously been published in The Silmarillion, Unfinished Talesof Numenor and Middleearth, and The History of Middle Earth known as Narn i Chîn Húrin (aka "The Narn"), but the published novel The Children of Húrin is the first to compile it all into a single complete text. Following the cataclysmic destruction of the Battle of Unnumbered Tears, Húrin, the greatest of all mortal warriors, was captured by the forces of Morgoth. The Dark Lord offered Húrin freedom in return for revealing the location of the Elvish city of Gondolin. Húrin refused and the enraged Morgoth cast a curse upon him and his family for all eternity. The remainder of the plot follows Húrin's struggling son Turin and daughter Nienor as the curse winds its way toward a terrible conclusion. Probably the darkest and most depressing single work in the entire Middle-earth canon. While beautifully written, this is in no way a happy book.
