The contents of this book are several versions of poems about a lord and his lady wife. About their children, heirs to the throne, and about sorcery. Reminds me of The Song of Ice and Fire by George R. R. Martin. If I'm not mistaken, one of George R. R. Martin's inspirations was J. R. R. Tolkien. There are notes from J. R. R. Tolkien's son regarding his father's work. Quite interesting even though the story in the poem is quite brief.
