A distant moon lights up the sea and near shore. People walk and ride by its light past a white tower toward a coastal settlement.

The Peoples of Middle-earth

J.R.R. Tolkien

Join Corey Olsen — The Tolkien Professor — for an in-depth read of The Peoples of Middle-earth, the twelfth and final volume of The History of Middle-earth, edited by Christopher Tolkien from the unpublished manuscripts of his father J. R. R. Tolkien.

Make connections with hundreds of tales and revisions from the Legendarium through Christopher Tolkien’s painstaking curating and editing of his father’s notes.

The Peoples of Middle-earth speaks to the Appendices of The Lord of the Rings, materials written near the end of Tolkien’s life, a story about the development of the Elven languages, and two unfinished tales from the 1950s
