Find your way through every part of J.R.R. Tolkien’s great creation, from the Middle-earth of The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings to the undying lands of the West…
The Atlas of Tolkien’s Middle-earth is an essential guide to the geography of Middle-earth, from its founding in the Elder Days – as recounted in The Silmarillion – to the Third Age of The Lord of the Rings, including the journeys of Bilbo, Frodo and the Fellowship of the Ring.

Hundreds of maps and diagrams survey the journeys of the principal characters day by day – including all the battles and key locations of the First, Second and Third Ages.

Product description

Review

‘Absolutely indispensable… in its scope and coverage it is a masterful work, a fitting monument to the talents and imagination of the cartographer and of the man who invented these lands’
– Mythprint

About the Author

Karen Wynn Fonstad was a noted cartographer and geography lecturer whose admiration for J.R.R. Tolkien’s books resulted in the first serious attempt to create a coherent atlas of Middle-earth in 1981. This was fully revised ten years later to accommodate Tolkien’s expanding legendarium following the publication of nine volumes of The History of Middle-earth, and this third edition followed in 2001. Although Karen Wynn Fonstead died in 2005, her Atlas of Tolkien’s Middle-earth remains the most ambitious and exhaustive book on the subject.

Indispensable for tackling the Silmarillion

Reviewed in Australia on 9 November 2020

Verified Purchase

I have mentioned elsewhere in my review of the Silmarillion how useful this volume is. It really does help the reader navigate the unusual terrain of Middle-earth, particularly if you are used to the land as it was in Lord of the Rings, getting your head around how it changed through the ages is important. Sometimes there are places written of in the Tolkien's works that I couldn't find on the maps. Having said that, it had a very useful index. I think more colourful distinction in the presentation of the maps would have made them more readable, all the similar sepia tones are not as readable. Having said that, I wouldn't be without it.

Tolkein, Solzhenitsyn, Proust, Joyce, Ferrante; for the rest of 21. "Surely the world is so full of a number of things we should all be ashappy as kings" (Stevenson ) Surely a feast!

Good quality item, with a lot of information. Really helped guide me when reading the LOTR, silmarillion and the hobbit - whilst listening to the audiobook. Really immersive.

Beautiful book, don't even need to comment on the contents.
For the presentation, I'd prefer hardcover, but I am very happy with this book.
A must have for any Tolkien fan.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 22 July 2017

Verified Purchase

I think this book is indispensable if you are reading the Silmarillion. I started the book without it and soon realised the entire book is full of geographical descriptions as elves and men are constantly moving round Middle Earth. I prefer to relate stories like this to a map but found only a very small map of Beleriand embedded within Tolkien's text. it was frustrating not to be able to follow all the events which occurred on a map. This Atlas solved my problem as it has a number of fairly detailed maps of the regions of Middle Earth and Valinor described in the text. There are also explanatory notes next to many of the maps which help to explain their context and relevance. It is also very helpful for reading the Hobbit and Lord of the Rings (although these two books do have some maps included as appendices).

Fantastic - best Tolkien maps available

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 24 October 2021

Verified Purchase

All the maps you could wish for, to scale, with great detail, and as much text and explanations as there is maps, so just as good to read as to look at.
See Beleriand of the Silmarillion in relation to Eriador and the LOTR lands. See Numenor, the Valinor lands of Aman, Eriador, Gondor, and so much more. See the whole world put together. There are dozens and dozens of maps, showing races, tribes or groups lands, language areas, migrations, voyages, journey routes, vegetation, climate, geology, town/cave plans, battles, the whole lot.
Absolutely indispensable for any serious Tolkien fan. Get this book if you want to delve deep into the novels and get the most from them.

My one issue is that this is not in full colour, just a limited range of black, greys and reddish-browns, so some of the keys to the maps are harder to follow and rely on shades for areas that are tricky to distinguish. The publisher would do well to create a full-colour version.

Fantastic quality book

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 23 November 2017

Verified Purchase

Its great for visualising the paths taken by the characters in the LOTR and I'd say its a must have if you're reading the Silamarillion since it makes all the confusing regions so much easier to understand. Excellent quality maps but also some really nice detailed description. If you enjoy looking at the tiny little maps provided in the Tolkien books, this atlas will blow your mind.

Needs revising

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 3 June 2019

Verified Purchase

I found the book to be good overall, helps to visualise the locations and journeys, however there are errors and omissions, the most frustrating of these being the journeys of Tuor. Also Ulmo the Valar has been confused with Osse the Maia.
