'''[[Fingon]]''' ([[Years of the Trees]] [[First Age]] {{FA|472|n}}) was a [[Noldor]]in prince, and later [[High King of the Noldor]], noted for his skill in battle and was thus named "the Valiant" by his cousin [[Maedhros]].
'''''[[Mr. Bliss]]''''' is an illustrated children's story [[J.R.R. Tolkien]], first published posthumously in [[1982]]. The story tells of Mr Bliss's purchase of a car, and the misadventure that follows his poor driving: he encounters several neighbours, three bears, an angry shop-owner, and his own pet the "Girabbit".  


Fingon was the eldest son of [[Fingolfin]] and [[Anairë]], older brother of [[Turgon]], [[Aredhel]], and [[Argon]], who ruled the Noldor as High King from {{FA|456}} following the death of his father in single combat with [[Morgoth]]. Fingon led the largest host in the Flight of the Noldor from [[Aman]] to [[Middle-earth]] where he then ruled over [[Dor-lómin]] and [[Hithlum]]. However, Fingon is mostly remembered for his friendship with Maedhros, who he rescued from the peaks of [[Thangorodrim]], and for the manner of his death in battle with the balrog [[Gothmog (balrog)|Gothmog]] during the [[Nirnaeth Arnoediad]]. He was succeeded as High King by his brother [[Turgon]] who ruled the Noldor from [[Gondolin]].
The story was likely written down in the early 1930s, is fully illustrated by Tolkien, with his own calligraphic handwriting integral to the design; it was first submitted for publication in [[1936]] but the cost of reproducing the artwork made it prohibitively expensive. Tolkien endeavoured to redraw it, but never got around to it; it was finally published in 1982, and in 2007 it was rescanned and republished to a higher quality.<p align="right" style="margin: 5px 0px 5px 0px;">'''[[Tolkien Gateway:Featured articles/Archive|Featured Articles archive]] ·''' [[Tolkien Gateway:Featured articles/Nominations|Nominate/Vote]]</p></div></div>
