He may be known for his vast fantasy world of hobbits, dragons and orcs, but there was a time when J.R.R. Tolkien had ventured a little closer to home. And while his Lord of the Rings trilogy detailed the adventures of Frodo, Gandalf and Aragorn, the author's previously unpublished work set in ancient Britain centered on King Arthur.
Earlier this week, HarperCollins announced that Tolkien's never-before-seen poem The Fall of Arthur will be released for the first time this May. Featuring over 200 pages, the story depicts the final days of Arthur's reign, as the old king attempts to save his country from Mordred the usurper, opening as Arthur and Gawain go to war.
