The first of a two-book set that contains the early myths and legends which led to the writing of Tolkien's epic tale of war, The Silmarillion. The Book of Lost Tales stands at the beginning of the entire conception of Middle-earth and Valinor for the Tales were the first form of the myths and legends that came to be called The Silmarillion. Embedded in English legend and English association, they are set in the narrative frame of a great westward voyage over the Ocean by a mariner named Eriol to the lonely Isle where the Elves dwelt; from them he learned their true history, the Lost Tales of Elfinesse. In the Tales are found the earliest accounts of Gods and Elves, Dwarves, Balrogs and Orcs; of the Silmarils and the Two Trees of Valinor; of the geography and cosmology of Tolkien's invented world. This series of fascinating books has now been repackaged to complement the distinctive and classic style of the 'black cover' A-format paperbacks of The Hobbit, The Lord of the Rings, The Silmarillion and Unfinished Tales.
... autumn and the falling of the leaf is the season of the year when maybe here or there a heart among Men may be open, and an eye perceive how is the world's estate fallen from the laughter and the loveliness of old. Think on Kortirion and be sad -- yes is there not hope? (查看原文)

托老的文字是真的美。這本（和其系列作）都比较像補完中土世界第二記的一些零散記事，故事性不强。

作为一个创作者（当然我的创作可及不上托老的万万分之一），观察中洲被创造的过程（不是故事中的创世，而是故事外的“创世”）真是很有意思～

“创世纪”的初稿，可以看到托老是怎么一点点造出无比宏大无比美妙的中土世界，好神奇啊🥹。

托尔金最原始的构想，意料之外的是三大传说竟然如此早就有构思了，尤其是刚多林的陷落，想法甚至在日月与人类诞生的内容之前。最初的维拉极具人性，会生子，会描绘他们的各种想法和顾虑。另外LT的诗意很美，托尔金用了“英国人的先祖迷失到一个神秘岛屿，听到了远古传说”的方式，其实这里他就意识到久远时间带来的神话感了。

（我看英文书太慢了）看完一段想，哦这跟宝钻差不多嘛（趁着对宝钻尚有印象）然而之后小托的Commentary说“这里哪些哪些跟宝钻有哪些哪些不同”，我：？不同吗我怎么觉得都差不多？（所以说失落的故事或许可以想象成，如我这种记性不好的读者给别人讲宝钻，讲得丢三落四不记得谁是谁的儿子）
