A comprehensive, sumptuously illustrated reference guide by David Day, to all the living creatures – races, flora and fauna – that inhabited JRR Tolkien’s Middle-earth and Undying Lands. A Tolkien Bestiary is scholarly, definitive and enchantingly beautiful, identifying, analysing and describing 129 separate races. Included are a map, a chronology of all the ages, a general index and a special index referring readers back to Tolkien’s original works for the stories of the races described in the Bestiary. Originally published in 1979, this edition in 1996.
