Re-read of another edition, rated more highly, 27/1/15: Frankly, I was too young to really appreciate this book when I first read it. I realise that now. It's often said that die-hard fans of The Lord of the Rings will find much to enjoy in The Silmarillion. I'm not sure that's true. They might but equally they might not - they're two very different styles of book, as different from each other as The Hobbit is from either. This is The Greek Myths and The Golden Fleece to The Lord of the Rings's The Iliad and The Odyssey . The scope and ambition of this work of fiction is breathtaking, as J.R.R. Tolkien seeks to create the mythology of an entire world. That means beginning with its creation - not of Middle Earth, which is just the part featured in those earlier novels, but of an entire planet. With a world formed and a pantheon established heroes are introduced and their exploits sketched. These do, then, provide some context and depth to the more widely read of Tolkien's fiction even if the differing style means that those who enjoy one will not necessarily enjoy the other. This is a masterclass in creating a fictional universe and goes some way to explaining just why the author's many imitators have fallen short of his success. Tolkien's use of Germanic and Celtic myth in his world is no secret but his scholarship is greater even than that and it's hard to believe that anyone but a professor of Mediaeval Literature would have had the patience and breadth of knowledge to execute such a plan. The heroic cycles here are reminiscent of The Song of Roland, Beowulf and the Edda. Those that enjoy high fantasy and quest tales might not like this, conversely, those that enjoy ancient myths might well find much they like here.
