About this title

Synopsis

A beautiful colour version of J. R. R. Tolkien’s map of Wilderland, lovingly re-created by premier Tolkien artist John Howe.

THE MAP OF THE HOBBIT will take you to all the places Bilbo the Hobbit travelled through on his great adventure.

Trace Bilbo’s epic journey through the Forest of Mirkwood to the Enchanted River and the Elvenking’s Halls;
Travel through the Desolation of Smaug to the heart of the Lonely Mountain, wherein lives the huge and evil dragon;
Visit Rivendell, home of the Elves, in a hidden valley beyond the Edge of the Wild.

THE MAP OF THE HOBBIT comes with an illustrated explanatory booklet by Brian Sibley and is a companion map to THE MAP OF TOLKIEN’S MIDDLE-EARTH and THE MAP OF TOLKIEN’S BELERIAND.
