A must-have collection covering the lands and inhabitants of Middle-earth。
 

The fantasy world of J。 R。 R。 Tolkien’s Middle-earth contains a rich assortment of people， cities， powers， and creatures—as well as a deep， intertwined history that spans thousands of years。 In these specially designed volumes， best-selling author and Tolkien scholar David Day presents four decades of research and writing on the lands and inhabitants of Middle-earth。 A must-have guide to the Tolkien world， this collection provides an A-to-Z dictionary of the vernacular， an atlas describing the various terra firma， histories of battles， dark powers， heroes， and the Hobbits that started it all。 More than 200 black-and-white and full-color illustrations make the pages a joy to behold as you learn all you’ll need to know about Tolkien’s fantasy realm。
