QUOTE OF THE WEEK

from Christopher Tolkien’s Foreword to The Silmarillion…

“[Akallabêth and Of the Rings of Power and the Third Age] are included [in The Silmarillion] according to my father’s explicit intention, and by their inclusion the entire history is set forth from the Music of the Ainur in which the world began to the passing of the Ringbearers from the Havens of Mithlond at the end of the Third Age.”
