The Treason of Isengard: The History of The Lord of the Rings, Part Two by J.R.R. Tolkien, Christopher Tolkien

5.0

A book that I've come back to again and again since I first read it in my early teens. Setting the template for everything that was to come after it for so long, it's a classic of the genre. Hell, it pretty much established the genre! I have come to love so much about this story (I even have a soft spot for Bombadil these days!) including its epic scale, beautifully drawn landscapes and improbable characters.
