A Tolkien Bestiary by David Day is an extensively illustrated reference work exploring the extraordinary creatures, peoples, plants, places and mythological beings found throughout J.R.R. Tolkien’s Middle-earth and the Undying Lands. Originally conceived as a companion for readers of The Hobbit, The Lord of the Rings and Tolkien’s wider mythology, the book provides an accessible alphabetical guide to the rich and complex world created by one of the most influential fantasy authors of the twentieth century.
David Day examines more than 200 subjects drawn from Tolkien’s legendarium, ranging from Hobbits, Elves, Dwarves and Men to Orcs, Trolls, Dragons, Ents, Balrogs and the great powers of Middle-earth. A Tolkien Bestiary also covers important elements of Tolkien’s mythology, history, flora and geography, making it both an attractive visual book and a useful reference for readers wanting to better understand Tolkien’s fictional world.
A major attraction is the artwork. A Tolkien Bestiary contains a substantial collection of black-and-white illustrations together with striking full-colour paintings contributed by a group of fantasy artists including Ian Miller, Michael Foreman, Allan Curless, Lidia Postma, John Blanche, Pauline Martin, Sue Porter, Linda Garland, Jaroslav Bradac, Victor Ambrus and John Davis.
Additional reference material includes genealogical information, maps, chronology and indexes connecting entries with Tolkien’s original writings. A Tolkien Bestiary has become a popular collectible companion to Tolkien’s works and is particularly appealing to Tolkien enthusiasts, fantasy-art collectors and readers building a Middle-earth reference library.
