Synopsis

The classic guide to the geography and history of Middle-earth by a professional cartographer and Tolkien expert. Find your way through every part of Tolkien's great creation, from Middle-earth to the undying lands of the west! This completely revised edition of Karen Wynn Fonstad's The Atlas of Middle-earth is an indispensable volume that will enchant all Tolkien fans. This is an essential guide to the geography of Middle-earth, from its founding in the Elder Days -- as recounted in The Silmarillion -- to the Third Age, re-creating the journeys of Bilbo, Frodo, and the Fellowship of the Ring. Hundreds of two-colour maps and diagrams survey the journeys, battles, castles, forests, far lands, distinctive landforms, climate, vegetation and population, all illuminating the enchanted world created in The Silmarillion, The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings.
