There and Back Again: The Map of the Hobbit
by John Howe, J.R.R. Tolkien, Brian Sibley
Slight but pretty map of the parts of The Hobbit that are set in the environs of the Lonely Mountain. What struck me most was the sheer size of Mirkwood - I've seen it on other maps (for example the one that Tolkien drew) but didn't really appreciate the scale until this. Odd that Hobbiton is not included; one would think that a map of the book would include the start and ending place. Attached to the map is a booklet of places and a short introduction to the story. Again it's fairly slight, but it's not really the main attraction here - not when there's a brightly coloured map to look at instead.
