The Children of Húrin recounts the dark, sorrowful fate of Túrin and his sister Niënor, cursed by Morgoth. The Lay of Aotrou and Itroun is a lesser-known poetic work blending Celtic influences with Tolkien’s style, focusing on themes of love, loss, and dark magic. These standalone works showcase Tolkien’s storytelling depth and world-building.
