I loved to read this story on Silmarillion.
It is a fantasy story about love but still being deeply inspired by Tolkien feelings from his wife. I did not knew about it when was reading and how they (Beren and Lúthien) started loving one another can be a bit fantastic but all their adventure and how they 'are' with themselves feels real and veritable.
- sevensor 9y agoAbsolutely, it's one of his better stories. But it's not as if Christopher Tolkein has suddenly unearthed new material. He's gone and polished up some work that was published decades ago. The Tolkein literary estate is a money machine -- they've already published pretty much anything Tolkein ever wrote, no matter how disjointed or fragmentary. The tale of Beren and Luthien is well-known and memorable, and all the bits of it are in other books already.
