Tolkien's most famous creation, with lavish art showing the many locations and characters the author described in his classic novels, along with notes on their importance to the world.</b> <p/><i>A Middle-earth Traveler </i>presents a walking tour of J.R.R. Tolkien's Middle-earth, visiting not only places central to his stories, but also those just over the hill or beyond the horizon. Events from Tolkien's books are explored--battles of the different ages that are almost legend by the time of <i>The Lord of the Rings</i>; lost kingdoms and ancient myths, as well as those places only hinted at: kingdoms of the far North and lands beyond the seas. <p/> Sketches that have an 'on-the-spot' feel to them are interwoven with the artist's observations gleaned from Tolkien's books and recollections of his time spent in Middle-earth while working alongside Peter Jackson on the <i>Lord of the Rings</i> and <i>Hobbit</i> film trilogies. Combining concept work produced for films, existing Middle-earth art, and many new paintings and sketches exclusive to this book, <i>A Middle-earth Traveler</i> will take the reader on a unique and unforgettable journey across Tolkien's magical landscape. <br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>JOHN HOWE served as a chief conceptual designer for both of Peter Jackson's <i>The Lord of the Rings</i> and <i>Hobbit </i>movie trilogies, and re-illustrated the maps of <i>The Lord of the Rings</i>, <i>The Hobbit</i>, and <i>The Silmarillion, </i>along with numerous other fantastical worlds. <br>
