What reading level is The Peoples of Middle-Earth book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
And the final passage of the Quenta, concerning the prophecy of the recovery of the Two Trees, ends with the words (ibid.): But of Men in that day the prophecy speaks not, save of Turin only, and him it names among the Gods.
These passages reappear in the revised conclusion of the Quenta that belongs with the Quenta Silmarillion of 1937 (see V.323-4, 333), with two changes: Turin in the Last Battle is said to be 'coming from the halls of Mandos', and in the final sentence concerning the prophecy... 'no Man it names, save Turin only, and to him a place is given among the sons of the Valar.' In the cursory corrections that my father made much later to this conclusion (see XI.245-7) he changed 'Turin ... coming from the halls of Mandos' to 'Turin ... returning from the Doom of Men at the ending of the world*, and against the concluding passage (including the reference to Turin as 'a son of the Valar') he placed a large X.
Another reference is found in the Annals of Aman (X.71, 76), where it is said of the constellation Menelmakar (Orion) that it 'was a sign of Turin Turambar, who should come into the world, and a foreshowing of the Last Battle that shall be at the end of Days.' In this last reappearance of the mysterious and fluctuating idea the prophecy is put into the mouth of Andreth, the Wise-woman of the House of Beor: Turin will 'return from the Dead' before his final departure, and his last deed within the Circles of the World will be the slaying of the Great Dragon, Ancalagon the Black.
