Learn about the man who wrote The Lord of the Rings in this Middle-earth treasury. Full of answers to common questions about Middle-earth and the fandom, this book about Tolkien celebrates Why We Love Middle-earth.

The Lord of the Rings omnibus for all. Who wrote The Lord of the Rings? What details are in the movies, books, maps, and other stories—and how do they tie together? Intrigued by Amazon's new show The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power? What's considered canon and what isn't? Dive into Middle-earth's expansive lore with Why We Love Middle-earth, a fandom book about Tolkien's work.

The perfect companion for any Middle-earth traveler. Written by beloved Tolkien commenters of the Prancing Pony Podcast, Shawn E. Marchese and Alan Sisto, Why We Love Middle-earth is the ultimate guide to the fandom.

Inside, find:

● An easy-to-digest guide map that deepens your knowledge from start to finish, or from any interest point

● A brief history of each of the major books and adaptations of Middle-earth, how to read, watch, or play them, and deepen your understanding of them

● A manual for fandom niches—what they are, where to find them, and how to get started
