An Encyclopedia of Tolkien The History and Mythology That Inspired Tolkien’s World By David Day from Canterbury Classics. 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, leather-bound 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,
and are accompanied by black-and-white illustrations.
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.
My Opinion: This book is truly a
gift for the Tolkien fan as it has great pictures and talks about the battles
and more.
