IN YEARS OF THE
SUN AND MOON
———————
– Shorter Stories of the First Age –

All of these stories are set during the events chronicled in The Silmarillion, but make great use of the Lays of Beleriand and of the secondary texts in the History of Middle Earth. They should not be regarded as supplanting or contradicting the canonical rescensions of J.R.R. Tolkien but merely as illustrations, done for the purpose of illuminating and honoring the originals. Complete, unless otherwise noted. Criticism, commentary, questions are always welcome: philosopher@oddlots.digitalspace.net
