Túrin Turambar
“Túrin Turambar” by Alan Lee

We have arrived at our final Great Tales Read Along Post for The Children of Húrin!

Read on for some of my thoughts on the story through the lens of Tolkien’s inspirations, his theory of the “Cauldron of Story,” and the surprising return of Túrin Turambar in Tolkien’s early versions of The Silmarillion.

Then join the conversation to share what you thought!

Special thanks to Josh I. for joining the Extended Edition and the Read Along with us this week!

Túrin Turambar, Master of Doom
