As usual, the material is pretty thorough and well-researched, but as with all guides, it cannot go into the detail that would satisf Don't mind me, I'll be sitting in the corner stroking the cover and crooning quietly to myself. Of David Day's three Tolkenian guides, this one is probably the least - that is to say, you probably want to buy it with at least one of the others (I would recommend all three, because they are very pretty and imminently handy for cross-reference).

I’ll update this if I ever find out definitively.moreĭon't mind me, I'll be sitting in the corner stroking the cover and crooning quietly to myself. It covers a lot of the more obscure stuff, from The Silmarillion and beyond I’m not sure how much it draws on Tolkien’s unpublished papers, given the difficulty of figuring out what is meant to be canonical. Just flicking through it, I’d find myself drawn in and reading an entry or two in whole: the one on dragons spans several pages, for example. It’s a well presented book, too: faux-leather, with an embossed cover and nice pages, some illustrations included, and the maps on the endpapers. I didn’t read this cover to cover - I’m sure some people would, but it’s not the kind of thing I enjoy - but it strikes me as a good encyclopaedia for the world (less a dictionary, I think: it’s not just about the etymology and meaning of words, or even mostly) and a good reference, especially for those who find things like genealogies and far off cities difficult.

Galadriel was a Noldor princess who was born in Eldamar during the ages of starlight. I thought I'd include the definition of my favourite middle-earth character. But, for those that this would appeal to would not go disappointed. If you want a reminder of that character or place that you can’t quite put into its place: then this is the dictionary for you! If you’re a keen interest in the lore in which the fantasy was built upon: then this is the dictionary for you! If you’re a collector of everything Tolkien: then this is the dictionary for you! There are very few who would benefit from this and truly appreciate its worth.

The only downside of this book is its limited value in terms of audience reach. The definitions are brief, descriptive and totally necessary. Despite its artificiality the book feels aged and worn it looks like it could be a journal or a notebook of many an inhabitant of Tolkien’s marvellous world.
