About
The Lays of Beleriand, published in 1985, is the third volume of Christopher Tolkien's 12-volume book series, The History of Middle-earth, in which he analyzes the unpublished manuscripts of J.R.R. Tolkien.
This book includes the five poems that Tolkien began to write shortly after The Book of Lost Tales phase. Only two of them were continued beyond the beginning, the Lay of the Children of Húrin and the Lay of Leithian, the latter being the longest poem Tolkien ever composed, although he didn't finish it.
