The Silmarillion is a collection published of the works of J.R.R. Tolkien, edited and published posthumously by his son Christopher, with the help of fantasy writer Guy Gavriel Kay.

It is the principal source of the ancient history of Middle-earth and the First Age, and of the downfall of the Kingdom of Númenor. “The Silmarillion” is also a general term referring to the entire corpus of these narratives, at all stages of development and modification by Tolkien from the 1910s until his death, from which the content of The Silmarillion was drawn.
