The late Professor J.R. R. Tolkien's 'The
Hobbit','TLOTR' trilogy,and 'The Silmarillion' have delighted millions of readers in recent years.
Middle-Earth,the world in which the stories take place,is as real and complex
as our own.Events,geography and names were
created with care and loving attention by Tolkien,who wanted every single detail of his books to fit into their total pattern.
A belief in perfection,the fun of sub-creation and the desire to create something so totally convincing that the reader could believe in it (in a sense) as
actual history,involved him in map-making,
endless charts of dates and events and the
development of his many invented languages.
'The Complete Guide to Middle-Earth' is intended to be supplementary to the works of Tolkien and no more.It draws together in logical sequence facts and information about names,languages,places and events from Tolkien's books and will be an indispensable aid in every reader's discovery of Tolkien's world.
