One of J.R.R. Tolkien’s oldest stories is being published as a standalone novel Long before he wrote The Lord of the Rings, J.R.R. Tolkien served in the British Army during the First World War. Upon his return to England he resumed writing, laying down the foundations of what would become Middle-Earth — an epic story that includes The Hobbit, The Lord of the Rings, and The Silmarillion. Now, a century after it was first written, Tolkien’s estate is publishing one of his earliest stories, Beren and Luthien, as a standalone book. See http://bit.ly/2eyw2ig
