The Peoples of Middle-earth is the 12th and final volume of The History of Middle-earth, edited by Christopher Tolkien from the unpublished manuscripts of his father J. R. R. Tolkien. Some characters (including Anairë, the wife of Fingolfin) only appear here.

Contents:

• The development of the Appendices to The Lord of the Rings as well as the development of the Akallabeth.
• Some essays on various races of Middle-earth.
• The New Shadow - An incomplete sequel (approximately 30 pages) to The Lord of the Rings that Tolkien quickly abandoned, set in the time of Eldarion, Aragorn's son.
• Tal-Elmar - An incomplete story of Númenórean colonization of Middle-earth told from the point of view of the Wild Men.
• A few snippets that did not fit anywhere else.
