Unfinished Tales of Numenor and Middle-earth by J. R. R. Tolkien | Summary & Study Guide

The Unfinished Tales of Numenor and Middle Earth are a collection of unfinished works put together by J.R.R. Tolkien's son, Christopher Tolkien. The tales are all in various stages of completion, and each stands alone as its own story. Christopher Tolkien does very little editing of the tales, but instead presents them to the reader in exactly the form that they exist in his father's notes. The few places where editing does take place is mainly due to their being conflicting versions of the story, and these are clearly marked for the reader so as to avoid confusion.
