J.R.R. Tolkien is the father of modern fantasy. He created characters and a world so rich with details and so unique that it warranted a whole new vocabulary along with it. His creation of language is not surprising, considering his first civilian job following his service during World War I was working on the Oxford English Dictionary. Inside, you ll find a chronology of Tolkien s life, along with a short biography and an explanation of his writings. Then 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 other terms. This companion serves as a terrific resource for all those in love with Middle Earth and its inhabitants.
