Title: Histories of Middle Earth
Review: These books provide insight into the development of the "legendarium" of Middle-earth - from the basic cosmology of Tolkien's invented universe to the plot development threads of the back story to Lord of the Rings, which include the Silmarillion and the Akallabeth (Downfall of Numenor). There are also tales attempting to link Middle-earth to European history, which illustrate Tolkien's desire to create "a mythology for England". Readers with an intense interest in Tolkien's works should find the material worthwhile. Those not so interested may be bored with the continual re-working and re-presentation of the stories as they (often practically imperceptively) evolved.
