After his death, his son Christopher published a series of works based on his father's extensive notes and unpublished manuscripts, including The Silmarillion. These, together with The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings, form a connected body of Tales, Poems, Fictional Histories, Invented Languages, and Literary Essays about a Fantasy World called Arda and, within it, Middle-Earth.
