4 posts | 1 read
A comprehensive, illustrated guide to the history, lands, and inhabitants of Middle-earth. The fantasy world of J. R. R. Tolkien’s Middle-earth contains a rich assortment of people, cities, and creatures—as well as a deep, intertwined history that spans thousands of years. In this beautifully illustrated volume, best-selling author and Tolkien scholar David Day presents four decades of research and writing on the lands and inhabitants Middle-earth. Sections of this A-to-Z dictionary are devoted to discussion of the battles, history, beasts, and heroes of Tolkien’s stories. This comprehensive volume on Tolkien’s world also includes an appendix of three primary legends that served as sources for Tolkien’s creations—the Volsunga saga, the Nibelungenlied, and Richard Wagner’s Ring Cycle—and more than 200 black-and-white illustrations

“An Encyclopedia of Tolkien“ is an encyclopedia that details the fictional history of Middle-Earth, as well as historical facts, events, and mythologies that influence Tolkien's writings.The book is formatted in alphabetical order, while blending Tolkien's writings and influences together, so you'd get an encyclopedia for a fictional world as well as a history and mythology book. If you're a fan of Tolkien or the film series, I recommend this book

Gift idea for the Tolkien fan found at Costco for $14.99. Lovely faux leather cover, gilded pages, beautiful illustrations on the end pages ... bought this for my Dad, wbo introduced me to The Hobbit and Lord of the Rings.

(When I saw this, my first thought was "It's Stephen Colbert in book form!")
