THE ILLUSTRATED WORLD OF TOLKIEN: THE SECOND AGE
Brilliant visions of literature’s greatest fantasy world.
The Second Age has long been the ‘dark age’ for readers of J.R.R. Tolkien. Using his father’s meticulous notes and unfinished works, Christopher Tolkien was able to document the two great narratives of The Second Age – the downfall of Nùmenor and the forging of the Rings of Power, and the rise of Sauron. Includes more than 120 illustrations and insightful commentary from renowned Tolkien scholar David Day.
