Dive into the fantastical world and vocabulary of J. R. R. Tolkien with this deluxe edition that will stand out on your bookshelf.

J. R. R. Tolkien created characters and a world so unique and so rich with details that they warranted a whole new vocabulary to go with them. On these pages, you'll find a chronology of Tolkien's life, along with a short biography and an explanation of his writings. Then you can flip through the illustrated dictionary to discover terms like Aglarond (the great caverns beneath Helm's Deep) or the Black Riders and the mystery surrounding them, among many others. This deluxe hardcover edition features an embossed and foil-stamped cover, plus gilded edges to make it a handsome addition to your home library.
