- I have a few questions after finishing the Silmarillion for the first
- time that perhaps some of you would be kind enough to field.
-
- The events in the book really don't get much more than a cursory
- treatment, inspiring though it is. Do all those other books (The
- Books of Lost Tales, The Last Days of Beleriand) elaborate on these
- selfsame stories?
-
- Does /Quenta Silmarillion/ correspond to the First Age, the /Akallabeth/
- and the downfall of the Numenor the Second and then Isildur onward the
- Third?
-
- I may think of some more, but that's all for now.
