Review by StrawberryIcecream:

Have you ever wanted to know what an Orc marching song translated is or how Tolkien compared English people to hobbits? Then this book’s perfect for you. It is pocket size but packed with little bits of information and quotes. There are some brilliant graphics of artists’ views of middle earth and even a recipe for a well known shire food!

A lot of different people have contributed to this, either with quotes on their views on Tolkien and middle earth or haiku’s of the Nazgul!

This is a great read to carry around with you, and a book you will find your self looking through again and again!
