Tolkien. It was edited, partly written, and published posthumously by his son Christopher in 1977, assisted by Guy Gavriel Kay, who became a fantasy author. It tells of Eä, a fictional universe that includes the Blessed Realm of Valinor, the ill-fated region of Beleriand, the island of Númenor, and the continent of Middle-earth, where Tolkien's most popular works— _The Hobbit_ and _The Lord of the Rings_ —are set. After the success of _The Hobbit_ , Tolkien’s publisher, [Stanley Unwin, requested a sequel, and Tolkien offered a draft of the writings that would later become _The Silmarillion_. Unwin rejected this proposal, calling the draft obscure and “too Celtic”, so Tolkien began working on a new story that eventually became _The Lord of the Rings_.\n\nThe first edition by Allen & Unwin uses **Hawthorn** on the book jacket, with emblems drawn by Tolkien himself: Lúthien Tinúviel’s on the front panel, and those of Fingolfin, Eärendil, Idril Celebrindal, Elwë, and Fëanor on the back. The title page is set in **Perpetua** and **Imprint**. The latter is also used as text typeface.\n\n\n\n\n_**Source:  www.abebooks.com **Lucius Books.
