A stunning slipcase containing the most comprehensive in-depth companion to Tolkien's life and works ever published, including synopses of all his writings, and a Tolkien gazetteer, who's who and chronology.
Created to be the central reference work for readers and students of Tolkien, the two volumes contained in this slipcase approach his life from two different angles and give the most thorough analysis of Tolkien's work within the context of his life.
The first volume includes brief but comprehensive introductions and notes on a wide range of topics, and points the way, through discussion and bibliographies, to further reading. It includes a Chronology and a Tolkien Who's Who.
The second volume is the ultimate "one-stop" reference text detailing the parallel chronologies of Tolkien's personal and academic life, and of his writings.
