In the Tolkien Companion, J.E.A. Tyler has compiled almost every known fact, name, 'foreign' word, date, and etymological allusion occuring in Professor Tolkien's history of the Middle-earth of long ago into one complete and accessible concordance. It includes much of the High History of the Elven peoples, whose tragedy it was to introduce war into a hitherto innocend Middle-earth: it sheds new light on the origins of Morgoth the Enemy, on his Fall, and on the subsequent rise to power of his servant, Sauron the Great, Lord of the Rings: and it detils the long and heroic story of how the various Free Peoples - Elves, Men, Ents, Dwarves, and of course Hobbits - attempted, with varying success, to maintain themselves and their relams against the greatest Peril of the Ancient World. There is also a detailed guide to the various Elvish writing-systems, together with explanatory maps, charts and genealogical tables developed by the compiler and drawn by Kevin Reilly. The Tolkien Companion is an invaluable work of reference for all those entranced by the beauty and wonder of the great days of Middle-earth as revealed in the work of the distinguished scholar after whom, in all reverence, it has been named.", any image directly beside this listing is the actual book and not a generic photo.
