A book written by J.R.R. Tolkien is being published a hundred years after it was written. The story is about the fate of lovers Beren and Lúthien, a mortal man and an immortal elf who together try to steal from the greatest of all evil beings, Melkor. A version of the tale was later reworked into The Silmarillion.
The story was partially inspired by Tolkien's wife Edith; the names Beren and Lúthien are carved on the gravestone Tolkien and his wife share in Wolvercote cemetery in Oxford.
