A review by gkierulf
Tolkien: An Illustrated Atlas by David Day

5.0

This little book packs quite a lot of brilliant information! This book delivers fantasy and brilliant accounts of events throughout the history of Arda, not only of the physical history but its relation to the history of its peoples through the ages. However, the title may be a touch misleading as this book is not quite an atlas, it is rather an account of the characters and lands of Arda and how they shape one another through Tolkien's stories. In any case, I've forgiven the title of this book as it does deliver on brilliant illustrations regardless of their subject matter. Not only could I not put it down, but it also gave further insight into Tolkien's legendarium while not revealing too much information as to entice readers to find out the full story for themselves by reading the original work.

I will definitely indulge myself in Day's other works in this 'series'.
