Tale of Tinúviel

From Tolkien Gateway

The Tale of Tinúviel, found in the Book of Lost Tales, was one of the earlier versions of the story of Beren and Lúthien. Differences from the final version include the following:

  • Tevildo replaces Thû/Sauron
  • The knife Beren uses to cut out the Silmaril is a kitchen-knife of Tevildo rather than Angrist
  • Lúthien wears silver-white instead of sky-blue
