The definitive, exquisitely detailed guide to the geography of J.R.R. 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 s 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.
