The Children of Húrin

Just started reading J.R.R.Tolkien's The Children of Húrin, published in April 2007. Quoting from the jacket flap: "The Children of Húrin takes the reader back to a time long before The Lord of the Rings, in an area of Middle-earth that was to be drowned before Hobbits appeared, and when the great enemy was still the fallen Vala, Morgoth, and Sauron was only Morgoth's lieutenant. This heroic romance is the tale of the Man, Húrin, who dared to defy Morgoth's force of evil, and his family's tragic destiny, as it follows his son Túrin Turambar's travels through the lost world of Beleriand..."

It's a good read so far, have to get used to reading Lord of the Rings-type language again.
