Maps....

Warrior · 02-10-2002, 01:58 AM

I know that there is a map of Middle-Earth in most of the books but i was wondering if anyone knew of place or has a map with the paths of journies taken traced out?....if anyone knows please say where.

Try "The Atlas of Middle-earth" by Karen Wynn Fonstad.

Btw, I had to edit your username. Didn't quite seem appropriate

ok thanks for the book...and i understand about editing the name-just a long joke that i have with someone.

theres another book called "Journeys of Frodo", by Barbara Strachey, which has excellent maps, and all of the fellowships routes and times are recorded.

If you get Fonstad's book make sure it is the revised edition.

Ñólendil - Does it say revised addition on it, or does it have a different cover or something like that?

I have an older "revised" edition. I love it!!!
The newer one has a black cover... According to Michael Martinez thought, it is still full of errors. But I still love it!!

Ñólendil · 02-10-2002, 05:57 PM

It should say 'Revised Edition' on the cover.

Speaking of the maps, the ones in the paperback editions of LotR since 1988 are absolutely pathetic. I have no idea why they threw out the original Christopher Tolkien maps. Any ideas, anyone?

I have no idea why they threw out the original Christopher Tolkien maps. Any ideas, anyone? __________________ "...[The Lord of the Rings] is to exemplify most clearly a recurrent theme: the place in 'world politics' of the unforeseen and unforeseeable acts of will, and deeds of virtue of the apparently small, ungreat, fogotten in the places of the Wise and Great (good as well as evil). A moral of the whole (after the primary symbolism of the Ring, as the will to mere power, seeking to make itself objective by physical force and mechanism, and so also inevitably by lies) is the obvious one that without the high and noble the simple and vulgar is utterly mean; and without the simple and ordinary the noble and heroic is meaningless." Letters of JRR Tolkien, page 160.
