The Cottage of Lost Play, also known as Mar Vanwa Tyaliéva, was a small house on a hill on Tol Eressëa, at which many of the tales comprising the first two volumes of The History of Middle-earth were told by certain characters.
History[]
The Cottage of Lost Play was built by Lindo and his wife Vairë who lived there. It had many small curtained windows and a comforting interior, and was a place of merriment and joy where many people, especially children, came to visit. Eriol the mariner (known also as Ælfwine) visited the Cottage and learned much of ancient times.[1][2]
During and after Eriol's residence here, the tales narrated by young children and older story-tellers at the Cottage were those of the Coming of the Valar to Valinor, the chaining of Melko (Melkor), the coming of the Elves, the "Travail of the Noldoli", the Coming of Mankind, the Flight of the Noldoli (Ñoldor), the hiding of Valinor, and the theft of Melko and the Darkening of Valinor, the Tale of the Sun and Moon, the Tale of Tinúviel, the earliest tale of the Fall of Gondolin, the tale of Turambar and the Foalókë, and of Nauglafring (the Necklace of the Dwarves).
Notes[]
- There was a poem by J.R.R. Tolkien based around the Cottage of Lost Play, entitled The Little House of Lost Play: Mar Vanwa Tyaliéva.[1]
