Everything You Need To Know About The Silmarillion But Were Too Afraid To Ask

This autumn/fall we are going to tackle The Silmarillion in our next readathon (visit http://oxfordcentreforfantasy.org for info!). Many readers who come to it from The Lord of the Rings find it a daunting book to get through. Julia Golding and Jacob Rennaker take you through what you can find in The Silmarillion, signposting those parts which link to the stories you might be following, such as LotR and The Rings of Power. They suggest which parts might appeal most to a first-time reader and give tips on how to read it. In part one they discuss creation and the First Age.
