The first complete book by J.R.R. Tolkien in three decades--since the publication of The Silmarillion in 1977--The Children of Húrin reunites fans of The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings with Elves and Men, dragons and Dwarves, Eagles and Orcs. Presented for the first time as a complete, standalone story, this stirring narrative will appeal to casual fans and expert readers alike, returning them to the rich landscape and characters unique to Tolkien.

歷時30年，由托爾金的兒子克里斯托弗·托爾金根據父親留下來的筆記編寫的《胡林的子女》與讀者見面了。這本書的語言完全是托爾金體，古雅靈動，氣勢如虹。它跟《魔戒》最大的不同之處在于這是一本專門講故事的小說。為貫徹托爾金著作的風格，出版商特邀憑《魔戒三部曲：王者再臨》獲得金像獎最佳美術指導的藝術家Alan Lee，為此書繪畫25幅鉛筆速寫及8幅彩色插圖。
