A review by flosmith
The Lays of Beleriand by Christopher Tolkien, J.R.R. Tolkien

4.0

Anyone who truly enjoys the works of [a:JRR Tolkien|5169768|JRR Tolkien|http://www.goodreads.com/images/nophoto/nophoto-U-50x66.jpg] will like this. Much of the story of Beren and Luthien is told here in prose. Their story is my favorite that is told in the [b:The Silmarillion|8842257|The Silmarillion|J.R.R. Tolkien|http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1281506141s/8842257.jpg|4733799] and being told in prose is beautiful. This book also has some of the earlier stories such as Thingol and Melian as well as further information about the construction and changes that these stories underwent. Much of the commentary can be skipped and the stories themselves enjoyed as they are.
