Book Details
First Sentence
"J. R. R. Tolkien’s great tale, The Lord of the Rings, is wonderfully complex. Within its pages, readers meet a marvelous array of creatures from little Hobbits to giant Ents. Its narrative sweeps across a territory roughly the size of western Europe and draws on events spanning thousands of years. But for most readers, however enthralled, making sense of it all is not easy. Fortunately, there are encyclopedias to help us understand the people and places, as well as an atlas to sort out the geography. This book will do the same for the chronology and should become a ‘must have’ for all serious Tolkien fans."

Work Description
Here is the book Tolkien fans have needed for half a century -- a detailed, book-length chronology of J.R.R. Tolkien's complex tale. Whether you are a serious Tolkien fan or simply someone who enjoys reading the story over and over again, this is the book for you. It is the first new type of reference for The Lord of the Rings to be published since the 1970s. Beginning over 1400 years before the major events in Tolkien's epic, it describes, year by year, the amazing and imaginative background history that Tolkien created for his masterpiece. Then for the main narrative, it becomes a day-by-day reference, describing what each character is doing on that day and where those events are described in Tolkien's writings. You can find out, for instance, what Merry and Pippin are doing as Sam prepares rabbit stew for Frodo on the morning of March 7. Probe deeper into Tolkien. See why someone as serious as Gandalf had such an intense interest in innocent and fun-loving Hobbits. Discover an exciting new plot, based on Tolkien's notes, that begins when Aragorn captures Gollum. Follow along as the Black Riders and Gandalf race for the Shire. Decide for yourself whether Sauron and the Ring have any ties to Hitler and Stalin. Ponder what Tolkien believed about nature and technology. Here you will find answers to those issues and many more. - Back cover.
