Silmarillion: What would you add/expand? - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

I have often wondered whether Tolkien intended to rewrite the entire Silmarillion in the style which appears in the tales of Turin and Tuor as published in Unfinished Tales. I now think that, at some point, he intended to write the stories of Beren, Turin and Tuor for a separate volume or a sort of appendix to the Silmarillion. Unfortunately, he never finished the tale of Tuor and apparently never started a long version of Beren and Luthien.
