The Children of Húrin is an epic fantasy novel which forms the completion of a tale by J. R. R. Tolkien. He wrote the original version of the story in the late 1910s, revising it several times later, but did not complete it before his death in 1973. His son, Christopher Tolkien, edited the manuscripts to form a consistent narrative, and published it in 2007 as an independent work. The book is illustrated by Alan Lee. The story is one of three "Great Tales" set in the First Age of Tolkien's Middle-earth, the other two being Beren and Lúthien and The Fall of Gondolin.

中洲远古三大传说里完成度最高的一部，另外两部毕竟是由不经加工的多份手稿分别呈现的，本作则被梳理出完整的脉络。这一切仿佛来自久远岁月以前，历经时间淘洗，发掘、传承得来的神话长卷，实际是来自现当代人的架空虚构，实在是有种奇妙的时空错位感和磅礴味。 以胡林之子图林的故事线串联起各种族群体的背景和故事，互相交织，彼此呼应。 集合了《俄狄浦斯王》《卡勒瓦拉》《沃尔松格萨迦》《尼伯龙根之歌》《贝奥武甫》《亚瑟王之死》等多部经典史诗或戏剧的影子。 百转千回之后，一切于图林坎坷命运中紧密相连的人、事乃至物，皆一同消逝伤毁。古尔桑饮下主人之血断成碎片。子女墓碑前，胡林夫妻久别重逢，相聚相离。唯时间与长诗《纳恩·伊·希恩·胡林》记载下这无声的哀悼。
