Description

Mathew Lyons traces the influence of England and its landscapes in J.R.R Tolkien's world famous novels. Written from both the perspective of an avid Tolkien fan and a historical/literary interest in mythology and the influence of the landscape on Tolkien's work, Lyons follows in the footsteps of Tolkien through England, identifying the places that most arguably influenced Tolkien's creation of "Middle Earth".
