More than a decade ago, #1 "New York Times "bestselling author Diana Gabaldon delighted her legions of fans with "The Outlandish Companion," an indispensable guide to all the Outlander books at the time. But that edition was just a taste of things to come. Since that publication, there have been four more Outlander novels, a side series, assorted novellas, and one smash-hit Starz original television series. Now Gabaldon serves up "The Outlandish Companion, Volume Two, "an all-new guide to the latest books in the series. Written with Gabaldon s signature wit and intelligence, this compendium is bursting with generous commentary and juicy insider details, including a complete chronology of the series thus far full synopses of "A Fiery Cross, A Breath of Snow and Ashes, An Echo in the Bone, "and "Written in My Own Heart s Blood" recaps of the Lord John Grey novels: "Lord John and the Private Matter, Lord John and the Brotherhood of the Blade, Lord John and the Hand of Devils, "and" The Scottish Prisoner" a who s who of the cast of Outlander characters, cross-referenced by book detailed maps and floor plans a bibliographic guide to research sources essays on subjects as wide ranging as Outlandish controversies regarding sex and violence, the unique responsibilities of a writer of historical fiction, and Gabaldon s writing process a guided tour of the clothes, food, and music of the eighteenth century a Scottishglossary and pronunciation guide personal photos from the author taken on the set of the Starz "Outlander" series As entertaining, sweeping, and addictive as the series itself, this second volume of "The Outlandish Companion "is a one (or two)-of-a-kind gift from an incomparable author."

The quintessential Outlander reference book - Volume 2.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I wanted to finish this before GO TELL THE BEES THAT I AM GONE comes out … since the “droughtlander” was so long I thought it would be a good idea to refresh my memory of the last four books. I‘m really glad I did. Now I‘m all set for the 23rd and totally looking forward to it. 🐝

🤦🏽‍♀️ I wish I DNF this one. It was a chore to get thru. Vol.1 had lots of interesting tidbits/background info: So I was really looking forward to hearing the same about books 5-8!! Yet it was mostly just repetition of vol.1! Plus suggestions for new professional writers etc. I adore the Outlander series, but this dragged. There were some witty remarks by Diana, but I would‘ve loved to hear more background info on the actual books 😕

I had a hard time choosing just one favorite fandom... I went with Outlander since Jamie is my fictional husband after all!

I've been working my way through this off and on for a while. I love this series but this one at almost 1500 pages is quite the commitment. Happy to dive in again as I have a few days by a cozy fire to do so. 😊

This companion book has maps for many elements of the book series including houses, estates, battlefields, and settlements. If you love #Outlander, it's a must have! #septphotochallenge #somethingforsept #mapsinbooks

Lynnsoprano Clearly I need this! 8y
BarbaraTheBibliophage @Lynnsoprano There are two Outlandish Companions, one for the first few books and one for the later books. Amazingness! 8y
