J.R.R. Tolkien enthusiasts are in for a treat with the upcoming releases of two visually stunning book box sets. The Tolkien Myths and Legends Box Set will launch on June 10, featuring a collection of lesser-known original works and translations of classic literature. Following this, The Great Tales of Middle-earth will be available on August 19, containing the final three prose novels set in Tolkien’s renowned fantasy universe. Both hardcover sets showcase exquisite cover designs and include display cases, marking the fifth and sixth volumes in a series of luxurious editions that started with last year’s The History of Middle-earth released in four beautifully crafted collections.
The Tolkien Myths and Legends Box Set is a captivating assortment that strays from Middle-earth stories to compile classic myths. This set includes translations of significant pieces, including Sir Gawain and the Green Knight and Tolkien’s own The Legend of Sigurd and Gudrún. Each hardcover features a double-sided dust jacket with detailed artwork and a more minimalist design on the reverse, packaged in an attractive display case.
The Great Tales of Middle-earth offers vital narratives for fans of The Lord of the Rings, featuring compelling tales set in the First Age. This new hardcover edition includes reversible dust jackets adorned with illustrations by renowned contributors. The set includes The Children of Húrin, Beren and Lúthien, and The Fall of Gondolin, showcasing core elements of Middle-earth’s mythos.
Additionally, the restructured History of Middle-earth series, which chronicles Tolkien’s legendarium, consists of 15 distinct volumes, providing readers with a comprehensive understanding of the world Tolkien meticulously crafted over decades.
Fans can take advantage of substantial savings on these editions, with many priced significantly lower than their suggested retail prices.
These exquisite releases not only celebrate Tolkien’s literary legacy but also serve as ideal additions for collectors and new readers alike.
