The maps are accompanied by a fascinating and authoritative, fully illustrated 160-page text written by Brian Sibley, author of the Sunday Times bestselling THE FALL OF NÚMENOR and leading expert on THE LORD OF THE RINGS (he adapted the work for the acclaimed 1981 BBC radio dramatisation), which recounts the story behind each map and provides a richly detailed glossary of every name, place and event. ed to complement the growing range of hardback editions of J.R.R. Tolkien‘s work, this brand new edition is the perfect companion for every fan wishing to learn more about the world of Tolkien‘s Middle-earth.
