World of Tolkien Seven-Book Boxed Set - 2nd Edition by David Day (Paperback)

Book Synopsis

This striking collection of seven books with specially designed spines and illustrated page edges encompasses the myriad lands and inhabitants of Middle-earth.

The fantasy world of J. R. R. Tolkien's Middle-earth contains a rich assortment of people, cities, powers, and creatures--as well as a deep, intertwined history that spans thousands of years. In these specially designed volumes, best-selling author and Tolkien scholar David Day presents four decades of research and writing on the lands and inhabitants of Middle-earth. A must-have guide to the Tolkien world, this collection includes seven individual books that provide an A-to-Z dictionary of the vernacular; an atlas describing the various terra firma; an exploration of the Rings of Power; and histories of the battles, dark powers, heroes, and Hobbits that started it all. More than 200 black-and-white and full-color illustrations make the pages a joy to behold as you learn all you'll need to know about Tolkien's fantasy realm. A full-color montage on the page edges adds a beautiful touch to this boxed set that will resonate with every Tolkien fan.

This set includes the following titles:
An Atlas of Tolkien
The Battles of Tolkien
The Dark Powers of Tolkien
A Dictionary of Tolkien
The Heroes of Tolkien
