Which Tolkien book, published in 2007, tells the story of Túrin Turambar?

The Tolkien book published in 2007 that tells the story of Túrin Turambar is The Children of Húrin. Christopher Tolkien edited the posthumous volume, and it was illustrated by Alan Lee.

The book develops a tragic tale from the First Age of Middle-earth. Túrin is the son of Húrin, a Man who defies Morgoth and is cursed after the Battle of Unnumbered Tears. Túrin’s life includes exile, warfare, mistaken identity, and the destructive influence of the dragon Glaurung.

Tolkien had written versions of the story over many decades, but he never completed a single final prose version for publication during his lifetime. Christopher Tolkien assembled a continuous narrative from several manuscripts while preserving Tolkien’s wording wherever possible.

The story is also represented in The Silmarillion and Unfinished Tales, which can cause confusion about the title. The 2007 volume is a standalone presentation of the tale, not a newly written novel by J.R.R. Tolkien.
