The first three sections are each dedicated to a specific age or time period that Tolkien created.
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.Īs the reader makes their way through the tales, they find that the book is divided into four distinct sections. 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 tales are all in various stages of completion, and each stands alone as its own story. The Unfinished Tales of Numenor and Middle Earth are a collection of unfinished works put together by J.R.R.
