J.R.R. Tolkien’s short story collections, such as The Silmarillion, offer a deep dive into the ancient history and mythology of Middle-earth. The Silmarillion is a collection of interconnected tales that chronicle the creation of the world, the rise and fall of powerful beings, and the epic battles between good and evil, including the rebellion of the Noldor and the tragic fate of the Silmarils. These stories explore key events of Middle-earth’s First Age, providing rich context for the later tales in The Lord of the Rings.
