Synopsis
The essential companion for any reader journeying through The Lord of the Rings, illustrated by John Howe, conceptual artist on the Lord of the Rings films.
Writer and broadcaster Brian Sibley is a foremost expert on The Lord of the Rings (he adapted the novel for the award-winning BBC radio dramatisation in 1980), and here in this clothbound hardback presents an entertaining and informative overview of the writing of The Lord of the Rings, and the creation of the original maps by Tolkien and his son, Christopher. The book is accompanied by a full-colour illustrated map, which can be removed for reference or even for framing.
The map is a real labour of love, illustrated by world-renowned Tolkien artist John Howe, the conceptual artist employed by Peter Jackson to work on his multi-award winning Lord of The Rings film trilogy, and who is soon to work on Guillermo del Toro’s Hobbit film.
Each element in this collector’s package is special; together they provide an enchanting and desirable artefact that will be a prized possession of Tolkien readers of all ages.

From the Back Cover
This superb map will take you straight to the heart of J.R.R. Tolkien's mythical world of Middle-earth. Redrawn by artist John Howe from the original map created by Christopher Tolkien, it is beautifully decorated with scenes from 'The Lord of the Rings'.
• Trace the epic journey of Frodo and Sam through the Misty Mountains and the Dead Marshes to Mount Doom
• Follow Aragorn to the great city of Minas Tirith
• Discover where Gandalf fought the Balrog on the peak of Zirak zigil
The map show how the geography created in such meticulous detail by J.R.R. Tolkien is central to an understanding of his books. It comes with an illustrated explanatory booklet written by Brian Sibley, creator of the highly successful radio dramatisation of 'The Lord of the Rings'.
