About this title

Review

‘A handy volume… a good guide to Middle-earth for The Lord of the Rings readers… a painstaking and successful achievement.’
Amon Hen, The Bulletin of the Tolkien Society

From the Back Cover

' Journeys of Frodo ' is an Atlas of 51 maps charting the epic journey that Frodo and his companions undertake in J.R.R. Tolkien’s epic work, 'The Lord of the Rings'.

Based on clear and detailed descriptions given in the text and on the original maps that appear in 'The Lord of the Rings', as well as Tolkien’s own paintings and drawings of the landscape and features of Middle-earth, this book clearly shows Frodo’s route, together with the paths taken by other principal characters. The maps provide enough detail to help the reader envisage the country through which the narrative moves, and each one also has extensive notes about the journey.

Having loved the volumes of 'The Lord of the Rings' since they first appeared, Barbara Strachey long wanted fuller and more detailed maps to go with them. Though not a professional cartographer or artist, she finaly decided to create them herself. For nearly 20 years her efforts have provided readers of ' The Lord of the Rings ' with a new and more vivid idea of Middle-earth, and her book remains an essential companion to Tolkien’s great masterpiece.

“A handy volume…a good guide to Middle-earth for 'The Lord of the Rings' readers…a painstaking and successful achievement.”
AMON HEN, The Bulletin of the Tolkien Society.
