Which 2007 book did Christopher Tolkien compile from J.R.R. Tolkien’s writings about Túrin Turambar?

The 2007 book Christopher Tolkien compiled from J.R.R. Tolkien’s writings about Túrin Turambar is The Children of Húrin. It presents a sustained version of one of Tolkien’s major tragic stories from the First Age.

Túrin is the son of Húrin, a human warrior who is captured by Morgoth. Morgoth’s curse affects Húrin’s family, and Túrin’s life is shaped by exile, warfare, mistaken identity, and attempts to resist the power of the Dark Lord.

J.R.R. Tolkien wrote several versions of the story over many years, but he did not complete a final prose version during his lifetime. Christopher Tolkien compared drafts and related texts, filling gaps through editorial arrangement while preserving Tolkien’s language where possible.

The book was published in 2007 with illustrations by Alan Lee. It is set long before The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings, during the First Age, and is closely connected to the wider mythology later presented in The Silmarillion.
