Tales from the Perilous Realm/Unfinished Tales
 

Hi there,i'm wondering about these 2 books, i like The Hobbit/Silmarilion/Lord of the Rings books and know i was interested in Purcasing.. Tales from the Perilous Realm/Unfinished Tales,can you tell me more about them?,I found the Silmarilion a litte difficult at first to understand becouse i'm 12,but can you tell me more about them?

Firstly, Welcome to the downs! Secondly; sure! If you didn't understand the Silmarillion, i don't thing the UT would be a good choice just yet...its a more indepth telling of some of the events from The Silmarillion, eg. Turins tale, nienor, etc. Tales of the Perilous realm, i thought, was a pretty good book, not as difficult as The Sil or the UT, more understandable...to me anyway. Well thats my two cents....bye!

btw....RATE ME!!! [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

The Unfinished Tales are similarly written to the Silmarillion; parts of the various stories are told at greater length, and for the most part, they are (as the title says) unfinished.

The Tales from the Perilous Realm are delightful shorter stories; except for the poems 'The Adventures of Tom Bombadil', they are not about Middle-earth.

Both books are enjoyable reading, though they are completely different from one another. You've asked a question that might interest other newcomers as well, AZOG, so I'm moving this thread to the Novices and Newcomers forum. I hope others will share their opinions on both books there.
