Are all his books related to each other?

Do they all follow Middle Earth in the Third Age (was it the Third Age). I do know his most recent one, Children of Hurin, is before Lord of the Rings. And Sauron is mentioned in it a few times.

I also know the Hobbit is where the Ring was found by Bilbo.

But are those the only two with the Hobbits, Gandolf, and all that. Or is Gandalf mentioned in others as well?

The reason I ask is my other thread, about Gandalf, some of the responses got me interested in getting more background on him.
