Dive into the fantastical world and vocabulary of J. R. R. Tolkien with this beautiful flexibound edition.
J. R. R. Tolkien created characters and a world so unique and so rich with details that they warranted a whole new vocabulary to go with them. On these pages, you’ll find a chronology of Tolkien’s life, along with a short biography and an explanation of his writings. Then you can flip through the dictionary to discover terms like
Aglarond
(the great caverns beneath Helm’s Deep) or the
Black Riders
and the mystery surrounding them, among many others. This volume, as featured on
The Late Show with Steven Colbert
, serves as a terrific resource for all those who love Middle Earth and its inhabitants.
A Dictionary of Tolkien
is a beautiful addition to any home library and makes a great conversation piece.
