We read "The Tale of Tinuviel" from this for my Tolkien class and then I decided to read the rest since I bought the book for the class. It is interesting to see how the story changes over time, but it is disappointing that there isn't a clear/consistent ending to the later versions.
Moderate: Animal death, Body horror, Death, Torture, and Violence
