Take a lovely afternoon stroll with acclaimed Tolkien artist John Howe. Travel with Howe, one of the concept artists for both LOTR and Hobbit trilogies, as he takes you on a journey across Middle-earth, from Bag End to Mordor, in this richly illustrated sketchbook fully of previously unseen artwork, anecdotes and meditations on Middle-earth.

A Middle-Earth Traveller presents a walking tour of Tolkien’s Middle-earth, visiting not only places central to his stories, but also those just over the hill or beyond the horizon. What I enjoyed most of all was that events from Tolkien’s books are explored – and from all the ages of Middle Earth. I also enjoyed has Howe connected the threads of Tolkien's storytelling to other works of mythology. 

If you enjoy this, make sure you check out Looking for the Hobbit on Amazon.
