It is good to find in the champion Library Tolkien’s work, The Children of Hurin. If you like Tolkien’s world then this is an important part of the history of Middle Earth. Be aware that you will not find familiar characters since this story takes place a long time before The Lord of the Rings. But you will find, a dragon, orcs, elves, and humans ready to do battle with Morgoth, the original source of evil in the world.
The story takes place in the land of Beleriand: a place that was located along the coast north of what we think of as middle earth. It lies beyond even the Grey Havens. It was a region that was swept under the sea during the great upheaval at the end of the First Age of the World.
We first hear of Hurin in The Silmarillion. He does battle with, and is captured by, Morgoth. This story is the tale of his children Turin and Nienor as they stand against the evil attempting to rule Middle earth and as they live through their own flaws.
If you are a Tolkien fan you will find this book fascinating. If you are not already a fan this is a good story in which to lose yourself, though you may have a bit of a hard time dealing with all the new names of people and places.
