The World of Tolkien: Seven-Book Boxed Set

J.R.R. Tolkien's fictional universe is as vast as the human imagination. The father of modern fantasy created characters and a world so rich with details -- and so unique -- that it warranted creating a whole new vocabulary. This collection of works from renowned Tolkien scholar David Day is an invaluable reference for Tolkien's fans of all ages. Wander through the vast lands and cataclysmic battles, understand how the legends of Middle-earth relate to real-world mythology, and explore the struggle between the forces of good and evil. Maps and full-color illustrations help bring this rich universe to life.
