The Fall of Gondolin - A New Middle Earth Story To Be Published in 2018
A new Middle Earth story, The Fall of Gondolin, will be published in August 2018 as reported by TOR.com and other sites.
"Tolkien has called this story, which he first began writing in 1917, “the first real story of this imaginary world”; i.e., it was one of the first tales to be put to paper. "
It seems like this Middle Earth franchise that I thought was finished after The Hobbit movies were completed, still has a lot of life left. With the release of new material, The Chidren of Hurin, Beren and Luthien, and now The Fall of Gondolin; the literary works of Tolkien are still something to collect and read. Combined with the newly announced Amazon Studios 5 season series, there will be many more tales told about Middle Earth. It's an exciting time to be a Middle Earth fan!

More on the Silmarillion
For those that listened to our first Middle Earth Saga podcast episode where we talked about The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey, you heard us talking about the Silmarillion and it's historical value with Middle Earth. The Silmarillion is the history of the Middle Earth and is a very complex creation by JRR Tolkien. If you haven't heard of this book or perhaps have heard of it, but don't know much about it - TOR.com has put out a good series of blog posts about what it is and provides some basic summaries of the stories included in the book.
So if you're wanting to know more, give it a read or if you want to go straight to the source, check out the links to buy the Silmarillion on Amazon.
