  • Find your way through every part of Tolkien’s great creation from Middle-Earth to the undying lands of the west. Completely revised, Karen Wynn Fonstad’s The Atlas of Middle-Earth is an indispensable volume that will enchant all Tolkien fans. Here is the essential guide to the geography of Middle-Earth from its founding in the Elder Days through the Third Age, re-creating the journeys of Bilbo, Frodo, and the Fellowship of the Ring. Authentic and updated — nearly one third of the maps are new with a fully revised text — it 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 day by day — battles, castles, forests, far lands, distinctive landforms, climate, vegetation, and population. – Back cover.
