The Book of Lost Tales, Part Two by J.R.R. Tolkien

2.0

Little better than Part I, and in fact, perhaps a bit worse as far as a book of "tales" goes. Mis-titled at best, this is Christopher Tolkien's own attempt at assembling completed works his father's drafts. An editing hand was needed more than an assembling, as the tales are overlong, with few breaks in the narrative. The end-notes are of interest only to scholars, historians and biographers. A labor of love to be sure, but one that carries little weight outside the family.
