In the years leading up to the Second World War, authors J. R. R. Tolkien and C. S. Lewis--who both fought in the trenches of WWI--saw the world descending once again into a human catastrophe. This book tells the story of how the crucible of war brought them together in friendship and inspired them to engage their Christian imagination to confront the darkest forces of their age.

In this powerful follow-up to the New York Times bestselling A Hobbit, a Wardrobe, and a Great War, historian Joseph Loconte tells for the first time how the dark shadows cast by the Second World War utterly transformed the lives and literary imagination of Tolkien and Lewis.

The mood of cynicism and disillusionment after the First World War unleashed a storm of destructive ideologies: eugenics, scientism, modernism, communism, Nazism, and totalitarianism. The political and cultural crises created a new sense of urgency. The future of Western civilization stood on the edge of a knife. Tolkien and Lewis jumped into the fray.

Loconte explores how these authors and friends rededicated themselves to their scholarly and literary pursuits to offer a brave and hopeful vision of the human story. Their most beloved works--The Lord of the Rings, Leaf by Niggle, The Space Trilogy, The Screwtape Letters, The Chronicles of Narnia, Mere Christianity--were conceived in the furnace of the most devasting and dehumanizing war in history. In a world burdened by ugliness and despair, the works of Tolkien and Lewis opened the door to beauty, goodness, and faith. They continue to inspire the moral imagination. Readers who join Loconte on this epic journey will be inspired by Tolkien's and Lewis's Christian imagination, which even today has the power to transform human hearts in a world desperate for hope and truth; encouraged by their example of Christian resistance to evil as we, too, face a cultural crisis: fresh assaults on the political, moral, and religious ideals that shaped our civilization; and filled with renewed hope that even in a time of great divisions, conflicts, and hatreds, a Christian vision of truth and beauty can light the path out of the deepest darkness.

Combining a careful study of history and compelling storytelling, Loconte's book reveals how the remarkable achievements of Tolkien and Lewis--in the shadow of deep suffering and heroic sacrifice--offer enduring lessons for today's cultural moment. Loconte's book is essential reading for anyone who believes that great stories can reveal great truths. He reminds us that the imagination, anchored in a mature and heartfelt faith, can become the gateway to gratitude and to a life of purpose and joy.

Great Tales of Middle-earth Box Set: The Children of Húrin, Beren and Lúthien, The Fall of Gondolin
Hardcover – 19 Aug. 2025 WILLIAM MORROW

The Great Tales of Middle-earth is a beautiful box set of the three final novels of Middle-earth: The Children of Húrin, Beren and Lúthien, and The Fall of Gondolin, packaged together and ready for gifting. Completing Christopher Tolkien’s lifelong achievement as the curator of his father J.R.R. Tolkien’s manuscripts, The Great Tales features handsome color plates and maps by famed illustrator Alan Lee and a map by Christopher Tolkien.

The Children of Húrin was the first standalone story by J.R.R. Tolkien since the 1977 publication of The Silmarillion. Six thousand years before the One Ring is destroyed, Middle-earth lies under the shadow of the Dark Lord Morgoth. The greatest heroes among elves and men have perished, and all is in darkness and despair. But a new warrior arises, Túrin, son of Húrin, 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.

Beren and Lúthien was, or became, an essential element in the evolution of The Silmarillion, the myths and legends of the First Age of the World conceived by J.R.R. Tolkien. Essential to the story, and never changed, is the fate that shadowed the love of Beren and Lúthien: for Beren was a mortal man, but Lúthien was an immortal elf. Her father, a great elvish lord, in deep opposition to Beren, imposed on him an impossible task that he must perform before he might wed Lúthien. This is the kernel of the legend; and it leads to the supremely heroic attempt of Beren and Lúthien together to rob the greatest of all evil beings, Melkor, called Morgoth, the Black Enemy, of a Silmaril.

The Fall of Gondolin completes the set and tells the story of the legendary Elven city hidden within Middle-earth. Evil Morgoth seeks to destroy the last realm of his Elven enemies while Ulmo, Lord of the Waters, tries to protect it. At the core of the tale is Tuor, cousin of Túrin, who becomes great in Gondolin and marries, Idril, daughter of Turgon, king of Gondolin, and fathers a child, Eärendel. When an act of supreme treachery allows Morgoth to attack Gondolin, Tuor and his family must try to flee the blazing wreckage, for the fate of all of Middle-earth depends on Eärendel’s survival.

Each hardcover volume includes color plates and pencil drawings by award-winning illustrator Alan Lee together with a black and white map drawn by Christopher Tolkien.

William Morrow already has released a Great Tales three-volume box set, hardcover and illustrated by Alan Lee (ISBN 9780358003915). It appears to be in print still, available on harpercollins.com. Anyone know what's different about this new one (ISBN 9780063447981)?

Assumption on my part but I imagine it will be some sort of matching edition to the various hardcovers in matte that HarperCollins and William Morrow have been publishing.
