About this Book

The mythology of J.R.R. Tolkien's Middle-earth and Undying Lands is re-explored in a stunning bestiary by Canadian writer David Day. In over 200 entries, Day brings the beast and races, flora and deities of Tolkien's world to life as he relates their appearances, culture and history.

Eleven European fantasy artists have supplied their visual interpretations of Middle-earth's creatures and landscape in 110 detailed black-and-white drawings. 36 full-colour paintings provide a magnificient pictoral history from the creation of Arda to the departure of the Ringbearers.
