The Silmarillion is the posthumously published mythological history of Tolkien's Middle-earth, beginning with a creation myth and chronicling events until the end of the First Age of Middle-earth. For those familiar with The Hobbit and Lord of the Rings, these stories take place in the Third Age, and make frequent reference to songs and legends found in The Silmarillion.
