But the foundations for the entire mythos began as early as 1917, and from what I gather Silmarillion is the central core of his world-building. He never finished with it, though, and his son had to go through the notes you mentioned. And it was many notes. Many, many notes. And then some more notes. In fact, there were so many notes they published a twelve volume book series noting things about his notes. Also, notes.

      You could sum up the _Hobbit_ novel as: A metric tons of dwarves ate my larder. Dwarves are useless & need constant rescueing. There's some assorted trolls, orcs, prancing elves, talking spiders, a guy in rubber boots (what?), a very hairy guy with a pony fetish, a bunch of jerks sitting around in the middle of a lake. They wake up a dragon with more bling than a Rapper, turns out dragons can fly, byebye Laketown. Dragon get shot by proto-Aragorn in Act II, Thorin finds out the Arkenstone is like crack cocaine except it doesn't fit up your nose, and finally there's a big battle because everyone is pissed off they got invited to the Laketown BBQ but everyone brought potato salad. But describing the battle would take too long, so the POV protagonist gets hit over the head and wakes up when the battle is over. Big funeral for rock-snorting dwarf.
