The book tells of the founding of the Elven city of Gondolin, and is considered one of Tolkien's Lost Tales. A section in 1977's The Silmarillion was based on the Lost Tales.

At the time, many expected that book to be J.R.R. Tolkien's final published work. Christopher Tolkien even wrote in its preface that it was "(presumptively) my last book in the long series of my father's writings." But now, Entertainment Weekly reports, Christopher Tolkien has written that "The Fall of Gondolin is indubitably the last."

Hopefully it's not as lengthy and exhausting to read as the Silmarillion.
