Wouldn't it be a treat to hear the magical tale of Middle-earth from the author's own lips? Listen with delight as Tolkien's charming voice brings hobbits and elves, wizards and men, and orcs and ents to life. Based on a recording made in 1952, this remarkable CD collection also includes a never-before-published poem, "The Mirror of Galadriel." Includes Christopher Tolkien reading selections from The Silmarillion. Four CDs, 4.5 hours total.

I haven't listened to all of it yet. An excellent effort, but whoever transferred the original audio signal to CD could have taken better care to keep the volume level constant.

As Tolkien fans, we were particularly interested in hearing HIM read his works. We were not disappointed. We are now looking forward to reading Simarillion!
