Travel back to the first age of Middle Earth in the Senior IRC.
‘The Children of Hurin’ – J. R. R. Tolkien
“Six thousand years before the One Ring is destroyed, Middle-earth lies under the shadow of the Dark Lord Morgoth. The greatest warriors among elves and men have perished, and all is in darkness and despair. But a deadly new leader rises, Turin, son of Hurin, and with his grim band of outlaws begins to turn the tide in the war for Middle-earth -- awaiting the day he confronts his destiny and the deadly curse laid upon him…”
Carefully restored from Tolkien’s manuscripts and presented for the first time as a complete book, ‘The Children of Hurin’ is an epic story from the master of fantasy J.R.R Tolkien. Filled with Elves, Dragons, Dwarves, Orcs and spanning the rich landscape of Middle Earth long before the events of ‘The Hobbit’ and ‘The Lord of the Rings’, this is a story that will delight fans of Tolkien’s universe.
Written in a more complex style and with darker themes than Tolkien’s other novels, ‘The Children of Hurin’ is a book more suited for students in Years 11 and 12.
