Publisher's Note
The Silmarillion tells of the Elder Days, of the First Age of Tolkiens World, when Morgoth, the first Dark Lord, dwelt in Middle Earth, and the High Elves made war upon them for the recovery of the Silmarils, the jewels containing the pure light of Valinor. It is to this ancient drama that the characters in The Lord of the Rings so often look back to.Sit at the feet of the most beloved storyteller of the 20th century and hear how the world came to be. The Silmarillion is told here in a brilliantly faceted audio production, with all the glory of the First Age itself. Dazzlingly performed by Martin Shaw, it sparkles with the magic of the dawn of time--when Elves and Men roamed a world set spinning through space by the haunting music of supernatural choirs. Slip through the shadows and you, too, may catch the whisper of harp-song on the winds of the high air above the mists of the world.This exclusive audio boxed set of Tolkien's elegant masterpiece is one that will delight fans young and old. It is an extraordinary keepsake to be treasured and listened to again and again.

    I purchased the Simarillion by JRR Tolkien on CD because I am a huge fan of Middle Earth mythology and this book taps into the historical aspects of the Middle Earth world and its history. I do have the print version, however I found it hard to get through since it is presented mostly from a historical point of view. The CDs allow you to listen to the book in the car or in your leisure and gives a story-telling feel to it.

    If you are looking to find out more about Middle Earth's history, then this is a great buy and outstanding addition to your library.
