Both narratives appear here in alliterative verse and are accompanied by Christopher Tolkiens commentary on the evolution of the history of the Elder Days. Also included is critical analysis by C. S. Lewis of The Lay of Leithian. Author Biography John Ronald Reuel Tolkien was born on January 3, 1892, in Bloemfontein, South Africa.
