About this eBook

Karen Wynn Fonstad's THE ATLAS OF MIDDLE-EARTH is an essential volume that will enchant all Tolkien fans. Here is the definitive guide to the geography of Middle-earth, from its founding in the Elder Days through the Third Age, including the journeys of Bilbo, Frodo, and the Fellowship of the Ring. Authentic and updated -- nearly one third of the maps are new, and the text is fully revised -- the atlas illuminates the enchanted world created in THE SILMARILLION, THE HOBBIT, and THE LORD OF THE RINGS.

Hundreds of two-color maps and diagrams survey the journeys of the principal characters day by day -- including all the battles and key locations of the First, Second, and Third Ages. Plans and descriptions of castles, buildings, and distinctive landforms are given, along with thematic maps describing the climate, vegetation, languages, and population distribution of Middle-earth throughout its history. An extensive appendix and an index help readers correlate the maps with Tolkien's novels.

Have this on my shelf, owned it since I was a sophomore in high school. I spent hours pouring over these maps and accompanying lore, in full nerd form. Would recommend for even the most casual Tolkien fan.

I've always hungered for more detailed descriptions of the different places in Arda. I'm still as hungry as Ungoliant, but this book is like the Two Trees. Sated my hunger by a lot. Quiet a few typos, but that's alright. J.R.R. and Christopher Tolkien also had a few typos in their lifetimes.
