Chapter 19 is the story of Beren and Lúthien, aka The Tale of Tinúviel, aka The Lay of Leíthian, aka one of the Great Tales of the First Age and the Seed of Middle-earth. Simply put, this is one of Tolkien’s greatest stories, a story that in many ways informs the entirety of the Middle-earth legendarium.

QUOTE OF THE WEEK » "‘I will tell you the tale of Tinúviel,’ said Strider, ‘in brief – for it is a long tale of which the end is not known; and there are none now, except Elrond, that remember it aright as it was told of old. It is a fair tale, though it is sad, as are all the tales of Middle-earth, and yet it may lift up your hearts.’" - Lord of the Rings, Book 1, Chapter 11
