layne67I bought 'The Children of Hurin' just now. I'm feeling a tad guilty about buying it because I have 'The Silmarillion' and 'Sauron Defeated' gathering dust on my bookshelves, oh, for the past 2 years or so. 'Sauron Defeated' - I've read halfway. As for 'The Silmarillion', after several attempts, I couldn't get past chapter 3. Or was it page 3.
First para, chapter one of 'The Children of Hurin' :
The Childhood of Túrin
Hador Goldenhead was a lord of the Edain and well-beloved by the Eldar. He dwelt while his days lasted under the lordship of Fingolfin, who gave to him wide lands in that region of Hithlum which was called Dor-lómin. His daughter Glóredhel wedded Haldir son of Halmir, lord of the Men of Brethil; and at the same feast his son Galdor the Tall wedded Hareth, the daughter of Halmir.
Okay, not bad. I think I can read this :)
Has anyone else read this book?
