History of Middle-Earth Part Two

This new hardcover edition brings together volumes VI–IX of *The History of Middle-earth*—*The Return of the Shadow, The Treason of Isengard, The War of the Ring,* and *Sauron Defeated*—into one volume. Together these books give a fascinating and complete account of the writing of *The Lord of the Rings,* and provide the reader with numerous additional scenes, together with rare maps and illustrations, which never made it into the final book, including the epilogue in its entirety.
