The Peoples of Middle-earth (ISBN 978-0-261-10348-1) is the twelfth volume of The History of Middle-earth, edited by Christopher Tolkien from the unpublished manuscripts of his father J.R.R. Tolkien.
It is the last book of the series that Christopher Tolkien composed; it was followed in 2002, however, by The History of Middle-earth: Index.
The significant features of this volume are:
- 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 in any other volume of the series
- The inclusion of Anarië (Fingolfin's wife) and other characters who do not appear in later texts.
