Notes
Typeset as for the HarperCollins 2009 First Edition.
This book brings together Tolkien’s translations of two poems The New Lay of the Völsungs and The New Lay of Gudrún along with a series of notes and commentary by the author/editor. Also included is Tolkien’s poem The Prophecy of the Sibyl.
Two printings issued.
Also issued by the Science Fiction Book Club (July, 2009). This can be distinguished from the trade edition by the lack of a price on the dust-jacket’s front flap, the lack of a number line on the copyright page and the presence of the Science Fiction Book Club number (1277147) on the dust-jacket’s back cover (BCE #724796 also used).
