This is a collection of stories and essays written by Tolkien, but not completed. It was edited by his son, Christopher Tolkien. It starts off with notes from Christopher Tolkien about each story. It then proceeds to move on to the stories. In all honesty any of the stories will be very hard to understand if you do not have any previous knowledge about any of the characters or any of the other Tolkien books. This book is definitely for hard core, die hard Tolkien fans. I felt that this was very hard to read even with knowledge of other Tolkien works. I think that this book is definitely for high school, but of course, as always, middle school can give it a whirl if they feel like it.
