Tolkien's World: A Guide to the Peoples and Places of Middle-Earth Book Review
About the Book:
Tolkien’s World takes readers on an incredible journey through the
realms of Middle-earth and back to a time when elves, dwarves, wizards, and a
small, courageous people known as hobbits battled the forces of evil. This
lavishly illustrated guide brings you the people and places from The
Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings. Explore Middle-Earth, from the
rolling hills of the Shire to the desolate ash plains of Mordor. Discover the
secrets of a world where the elves roamed through enchanted forests and dragons
slept in dark caverns under the mountains. With stunning artwork that
re-imagines the places and people of Middle-Earth, Tolkien’s World is
ideal for hobbit fans, big and small.
Open the pages of Tolkien’s World and meet Bilbo Baggins, the hero of The Hobbit. Then find out about Gandalf the wizard and his incredible magic powers, uncover the story of the unfortunate Gollum or learn about magical weapons, such as Gandalf’s sword Glamdring. This meticulously researched guide lets you discover the amazing peoples and creatures that inhabit Middle-earth, from friendly elves and stout-hearted dwarves to the deadly dragon Smaug and the evil Sauron. Packed with adventure and lore, Tolkien’s World is a must for all Hobbit
Our Take:
The Hobbit is one of the most anticipated films of the year. I know I've been yearning for it ever since I saw Peter Jackson's brilliant take on the LOTR trilogy! This is one of many great book releases that we're going to feature this week that tie-into the new Hobbit trilogy! This lastest release is brought to us by the folks at Insight books. This one strays from the mainstream films and provides us with beautiful artwork based on Tolkien's world. The hardcover book takes us through the various characters, places and races in Middle-Earth accompanied by fantastical and impressive fantasy artwork. This one is a great book for any Tolkien fan and would make a great Xmas gift!
