Finished Children of Húrin

Being able to hear Christopher Lee’s voice one more time as he told the tragic tale of Húrin’s children brings tears to my eyes

“HAIL, WORM OF MORGOTH! WELL MET AGAIN! DIE NOW, AND THE DARKNESS HAVE YOU!” Túrin, Son of Húrin

Please read this book!

Niche Tolkien fanart sketches. I was reading Children of Húrin, so I drew the sword as a person. Anglachel, later reforged into Gurthang. Watercolor.

Children of Húrin is an epic fantasy novel by J. R. R. Tolkien. The book contains beautiful illustrations by Alan Lee. The story is one of three "great tales" set in the First Age of Tolkien's Middle-earth.

One of my dearest books.

“There he made a song for Beleg, and he named it Laer Cú Beleg, the Song of the Great Bow, singing it aloud heedless of peril. And Gwindor gave the sword Anglachel into his hands.”
