J R R Tolkien's SILMARILLION is the core work of the Middle-earth canon. It is in this complex masterpiece that the history and background for THE HOBBIT and� particularly� THE LORD OF THE RINGS is documented.
It contains fabulous tales of heroes and monsters� and the history of the Elves and of the Silmarils - the magical jewels produced by one of the greatest of the Elves� which were stolen by Morgoth� the first Dark Lord; it tells of the creation of Middle-earth� and the coming of Men into the world; it chronicles the early battles between good and evil� forces of light and dark� which foreshadow the great conflict with Sauron in THE LORD OF THE RINGS. It also includes a version of the tale of the Children of H�rin� and T�rin's titanic confrontation with the mighty dragon� Glaurung� the agent of Morgoth.
These tales of Middle-earth were published posthumously in 1977� and when the book was recently reset� acclaimed Tolkien artist Ted Nasmith was commissioned to produce a total of almost 50 breathtaking paintings to accompany these spectacular stories.
It from these that the new Tolkien Calendar has been compliled� and it promises to be one of the most beautiful collections ever published..
