Where do volumes 1 and 2 of the Lost Tales fit into this? A Deathwatch Guard Send a noteboard - 20/12/2011 04:40:13 PM
Those are the only ones of the notes/history/background things that I've read, and while interesting, they were also incredibly confusing from what I recall. So also how do the Unfinished Tales compare to them, and what is the overlap between the two?

Since it's been quite a few years since I read them, I'm afraid I hardly remember which stories were in those books, though I Gondolin and Hurin featuring in some of the tales.

They're much, much earlier drafts of the Silmarillion. - 20/12/2011 06:10:06 PM 684 Views

They're more polished, but some are a bit bland. - 20/12/2011 10:47:19 PM 551 Views

Should the Simarillion be read prior to Unfinished Tales? - 20/12/2011 11:55:13 PM 626 Views
Only if you intend to read Part 1 of UNFINISHED TALES. - 22/12/2011 12:55:45 AM 469 Views
