Description:
[b]Unfinished Tales[/b] (full title [b]Unfinished Tales of Númenor and Middle-earth[/b]) is a collection of stories and essays by item:108956[J. R. R. Tolkien] that were never completed during his lifetime, but were edited by his son Christopher Tolkien and published in 1980.
Unlike item:110586[The Silmarillion], for which the narrative fragments were modified to connect into a consistent and coherent work, the Unfinished Tales are presented as Tolkien left them, with little more than names changed (the author having had a confusing habit of trying out different names for a character while writing a draft). Thus some of these are incomplete stories, while others are collections of information about item:108256[Middle-earth]. Each tale is followed by a long series of notes explaining inconsistencies and obscure points.
