The Lay of Aotrou & Itroun by J.R.R. Tolkien, edited by Verlyn Flieger. It is a poem of 508 lines, first published in 1945 in The Welsh Review.
The story is set in "Britain's land beyond the seas" and is modeled on the genre of the "Breton lay".
It explores themes of chivalric values, Christianity, and marriage.
The plot involves a childless lord, Aotrou, who seeks a magic potion from a malevolent fairy (corrigan) to have an heir, leading to tragic consequences.
This edition, published in late 2016, includes two additional poems titled "The Corrigan".
The words "Aotrou" and "Itroun" are Breton for "lord" and "lady".
