TOLKIEN BESTIARY, A

David's Day's 'A Tolkien Bestiary' is a scholarly, definitive and enchantingly beautiful explanation of all the imaginary beasts, monsters, races, nations, deities, fauna and flora of J.R.R.Tolkien's fantasy worlds of Middle-earth and the Undying Lands. David Day has identified, analysed and described 129 separate races. Each is lucidly explained in terms of its physical appearance, language, behaviour and culture, A Tolkien Bestiary' does not retell their stories- its purpose is to make Tolkien's own books more accessible by identifying his living creatures and explaining their roles in his epic world. Further, there are 36 incomparable paintings in full colour that vividly imagine the most important moments in the history of Middle-earth and the Undying Lands. Illustrated by Ian Miller, Michael Foreman, Allan Curless, Lidia Postma, John Blanche, Pauline Martin, Sue Porter, Linda Garland, Victor Ambrus, John Davis, Jaroslav Bradac.
