J. R. R. Tolkien
Painstakingly restored from Tolkien’s manuscripts and presented for the first time as a fully continuous and standalone story, the epic tale of The Children of Húrin will reunite fans of The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings with Elves and Men, dragons and Dwarves, eagles and Orcs, and the rich landscape and characters unique to Tolkie
There are tales of Middle-earth from times long before The Lord of the Rings, and the story told in this book is set in the great country that lay beyond the Grey Havens in the West: lands where Treebeard once walked, but which were drowned in the great cataclysm that ended the First Age of the World.
In that remote time Morgoth, the first Dark Lord, dwelt in the vast fortress of Angband, the Hells of Iron, in the North; and the tragedy of Túrin and his sister Nienor unfolded within the shadow of the fear of Angband and the war waged by Morgoth against the lands and secret cities of the Elves.
Their brief and passionate lives were dominated by the elemental hatred that Morgoth bore them as the children of Húrin, the man who had dared to defy and to scorn him to his face. Against them he sent his most formidable servant, Glaurung, a powerful spirit in the form of a huge wingless dragon of fire. Into this story of brutal conquest and flight, of forest hiding-places and pursuit, of resistance with lessening hope, the Dark Lord and the Dragon enter in direly articulate form. Sardonic and mocking, Glaurung manipulated the fates of Túrin and Nienor by lies of diabolic cunning and guile, and the curse of Morgoth was fulfilled.
The earliest versions of this story by J.R.R. Tolkien go back to the end of the First World War and the years that followed; but long afterwards, when The Lord of the Rings was finished, he wrote it anew and greatly enlarged it in complexities of motive and character: it became the dominant story in his later work on Middle-earth. But he could not bring it to a final and finished form. In this book Christopher Tolkien has constructed, after long study of the manuscripts, a coherent narrative without any editorial invention.

For those who don't know, Christopher Lee (Saruman) was the only cast member of TLotR too have met J.R.R. Tolkien. Lee had a love of Tolkienology and, in my opinion, has the truest pronunciations of the Tolkien languages (with maybe the exception of Viggo Mortensen (Strider/Aragorn)).

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?
Yes if they were into dark tales or a Tolkien fan. I would, however, add the warning - there is a lot of lineage and history that sometimes bores non-Tolkien enthusiasts.What was one of the most memorable moments of The Children of Hurin?
Battle with GlaurungWhat does Christopher Lee bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?
I sometimes linger over pronouncing names/words when reading Tolkien. It interferes with my reading enjoyment. Mr. Lee's narration was superb, bringing Tolkien's work to life in my mind and remedied my issues. I'm a huge Tolkien fan so I read along as I listened. :-DAny additional comments?
I enjoyed it becaue it is a work of Tolkien but it is a very dark tale.Christopher Lee excellent narration!
