Which posthumous J.R.R. Tolkien novel was published in 2007 from material edited by Christopher Tolkien?

The Children of Húrin was published posthumously in 2007 from material edited by Christopher Tolkien. It presents a more complete form of one of J.R.R. Tolkien’s tragic First Age tales.

The story follows Túrin Turambar and his sister Nienor, children of Húrin. Their lives are shaped by the curse laid upon their family by Morgoth, the primary dark power of Tolkien’s earlier mythology. The narrative explores fate, heroism, mistaken identity, and the consequences of resistance to overwhelming evil.

Christopher Tolkien assembled the book from versions written at different times by his father. Unlike The Silmarillion, which combines many mythological sections, The Children of Húrin was presented as a single standalone narrative with a continuous structure.

The book is related to shorter versions in The Silmarillion and Unfinished Tales. Its publication did not mean that J.R.R. Tolkien had left a final manuscript exactly matching the 2007 edition; editorial decisions were needed to join and clarify the surviving texts.
