Tolkien's Middle-earth, by renowned cartographer Karen Wynn Fonstad. Karen Wynn Fonstad's The Atlas of Middle-earth is an essential and official Tolkien companion that will enchant all 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 ― this guide to Tolkien's world illuminates the lore created in The Silmarillion , The Hobbit , and The Lord of the Rings . Hundreds of two-color maps and diagrams, a true feat of Middle-earth cartography, 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. Review: Exactly what you are looking for in an Tolkien Atlas! - If you're like me you've spent hours pouring over the very limited maps that are included in the original LOTR series trying to get a better idea of what Middle Earth looks like and have wished for an atlas. A few years ago I attempted to get through "The Children of Hurin" (very difficult) and "The Fall of Gondolin" (almost unreadable). My notes for each were "One finger in the Glossary at all times!" The only way I could get through these stories was with the glossary and a Tolkien dictionary which was in constant use and I really wish I had this atlas at the time. This atlas is FANTASTIC and is exactly what you want as companion especially when going through the 1st, 2nd ages which can be convoluted. The maps are easy to read and plentiful. While there is not a lot of color in the drawings there is enough to distinguish the differences in terrain without being distracting. This atlas was clearly designed for the avid reader and is meant as a reference to be used often and not a pretty coffee table book that's rarely opened. Case in point is the rather flimsy non glossy cover on the paperback edition which gives it a feel like a college text book companion. For about $15 it's an absolute steal! If your looking for a coffee table book, buy the hard cover edition. A few of the other reviewers talked about the font size and the the middle of some of the maps being in between pages. My eyes aren't what they used to be and I had no problem with the font size. There are a few maps that have important info in the crease which is annoying but definitely not a deal breaker. All in all I'm extremely pleased with this atlas and now feel confident in taking on the Silmarillion which I've been putting off for years! Review: Your official tour guide to Middle-earth.. - If you've ever been one flipping to the maps in "The Hobbit", "The Lord of the Rings" , or "The Silmarillion" to see where the action is taking place, then this book is for you. Karen Wynn Fonstad has done a remarkable job of mapping Middle-earth. The atlas is broken down into various sections, each easy to navigate to find what you're looking for. The First Age section is perfect for readers of "The Silmarillion", all the important places are mapped along with ample notes and observations. The Second Age deals with the fall of Numenor, a worthy companion to those reading "Unfinished Tales". The majority of the book deals with the Third Age. This is where "The Hobbit" and "The Lord of the Rings" takes place. There are maps showing the kingdoms of the Dunedain as well as the migration of the dwarves and the hobbits. There are regional maps detailing the Shire, the Misty Mountains, Eriador, and Mordor. Two lengthy sections are devoted to the Hobbit and LotR, showing all the key places in the books. Fantastic maps to look over again and again. Towards the end of the book are included the thematic maps. Very interesting. These show the landforms, climate, vegetation, population and languages spoken. Overall, if you're remotely interesting in learning more about Middle-earth, or you're just interested in great maps, pick this up. Enjoy. ## Features - Atlas of Middle Earth By Fonstad Karen Wynn ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #19,976 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #2 in Science Fiction History & Criticism #4 in Science Fiction & Fantasy Literary Criticism (Books) #14 in Literary History & Criticism Reference | | Customer Reviews | 4.8 out of 5 stars 3,015 Reviews | ## Images ![Atlas Of Middle-Earth: The Essential Guide to the Geography of the World of The Lord of the Rings - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71xYYauQ0qL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Exactly what you are looking for in an Tolkien Atlas! *by A***E on September 7, 2022* If you're like me you've spent hours pouring over the very limited maps that are included in the original LOTR series trying to get a better idea of what Middle Earth looks like and have wished for an atlas.
