The first complete book by J.R.R. Tolkien in three decades--since the publication of The Silmarillion in 1977--The Children of Húrin reunites fans of The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings with Elves and Men, dragons and Dwarves, Eagles and Orcs. Presented for the first time as a complete, standalone story, this stirring narrative will appeal to casual fans and expert readers alike, returning them to the rich landscape and characters unique to Tolkien.

历时30年，由托尔金的儿子克里斯托弗·托尔金根据父亲留下来的笔记编写的《胡林的子女》与读者见面了。这本书的语言完全是托尔金体，古雅灵动，气势如虹。它跟《魔戒》最大的不同之处在于这是一本专门讲故事的小说。为贯彻托尔金著作的风格，出版商特邀凭《魔戒三部曲：王者再临》获得金像奖最佳美术指导的艺术家Alan Lee，为此书绘画25幅铅笔速写及8幅彩色插图。
