Reddit mentions of The Children of Hurin

Holy crap, dude, I don't think you have a grasp at how large of a book you are asking for.

First off, there is no book that combines the Hobbit and the LOTR. The reason there is a single copy LOTR book is because it was originally written as one book, but was only broken into smaller books at the request of the editor. The reason they don't sell one book containing both The Hobbit and LOTR is because they are very much separate books in every sense of the word. They have a few similar characters, but almost everything from the story to the intended audience is different.

Second, you want the history and the untold stories?

There is literally a 12 book series called The History of Middle Earth that is well over 3500 pages. And that isn't even including the book Unfinished Tales of Númenor and Middle-earth that is another 300 pages.

On top of that, you have the summarized history, the Silmarillion, that is a couple hundred pages itself. That's the actual "Bible" of Middle Earth that adds lore and expands on things in LOTR and the Hobbit. And then there's the Children of Hurin, which expands on a small part of the Silmarillion.

So, in order for what you are asking, you'd need a book that would be approximately 6000 pages long.

It doesn't exist. What you currently have is the closest to what you are asking for. After the Return of the King, there should be a pretty good sized Appendix that has a ton of extra material relevant to LOTR, but if you want the Middle Earth creation story, the history of Morgoth and his effects on ME, the legends of the first great Men of ME like Hurin and kin, and stories of Gondolin... You're going to need to buy additional books.

Good news is a lot of them are cheap! You can get the Silmarillion and Children of Hurin for a good price, and there are some beautiful hardcover editions (illustrated by Alan Lee). That should cover a good deal of what you're asking for. From there, for additional history and info, there's that massive 12 volume collection, which I believe can be purchased in a 3 book set.

I'd say the best you could do if you want to cover all the necessary Middle Earth history and Lore is the Hobbit, LOTR, Silmarillion, and Children of Hurin. That should suffice.

[This is the copy of The Children of Hurin that I purchased] (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0618894640/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1).

Now tell me where you got those golden Blu-Ray sets!

Do you mean Children of Hurin?

This is the one I got her so yup!
