Los Cuentos Inconclusos de Númenor y la Tierra Media son una colección de relatos sobre la Historia de la Tierra Media desde los Primeros Días hasta el fin de la Primera Guerra del Anillo. Contienen, además, todo lo que se sabe sobre los Cinco Magos, las Palantiri, la organización militar de los Jinetes de Rohan, la leyenda de Amroth y el único mapa de Númenor dibujado por J.R.R. Tolkien. Christopher Tolkien, que explica en la Introducción los distintos tratamientos que estos textos han exigido, ha escrito un largo comentario a cada historia y ha vuelto a dibujar, en mayor escala, el mapa que acompaña a El Señor de los Anillo, añadiéndole nuevos accidentes y nombres.
