Fascinating, gorgeously illustrated and thought-provoking. . . . A] masterful book.--Elizabeth Hand, Washington Post

A lavishly illustrated look at the locales familiar to J. R. R. Tolkien, the creator of Middle-earth

This book takes you to the places that inspired J. R. R. Tolkien to create his fictional locations in The Lord of the Rings, The Hobbit, and other classic works. Written by renowned Tolkien expert John Garth, The Worlds of J. R. R. Tolkien features a wealth of breathtaking illustrations, including Tolkien's own drawings, contributions from other artists, rare archival images, and spectacular color photos of contemporary locations across Britain and beyond, from the battlefields of World War I to Africa.

Garth identifies the locales that served as the basis for Hobbiton, the elven valley of Rivendell, the Glittering Caves of Helm's Deep, and many other settings in Middle-earth, from mountains and forests to rivers, lakes, and shorelands. He reveals the rich interplay between Tolkien's personal travels, his wide reading, and his deep scholarship as an Oxford don. Garth draws on his profound knowledge of Tolkien's life and work to shed light on the extraordinary processes of invention behind Tolkien's works of fantasy. He also debunks popular misconceptions about the inspirations for Middle-earth and puts forward strong new claims of his own.

An illustrated journey into the life and imagination of one of the world's best-loved authors, The Worlds of J. R. R. Tolkien provides a unique exploration of the relationship between the real and the fantastical and is an essential companion for anyone who wants to follow in Tolkien's footsteps.

Perfect travel wipes – very convenient for theme parks
Scent: Unscented, Size: 6 Count (Pack of 10), Scent: Unscented, Size: 6 Count (Pack of 10)
I bought these unscented mini wipes for a trip to Disney and they were perfect to carry around all day. The small size makes them really easy to keep in a purse or pocket. I ended up using about one per day just for myself. I was going to the restroom very frequently during the day and they were really useful for freshening up, cleaning my hands, or quick personal hygiene. They’re unscented, which I personally prefer, and the quality is really good. I still keep one in my purse because the size is perfect to carry around. I’d definitely pack them again for another trip.

Tiny but effective
Scent: Unscented, Size: 6 Count (Pack of 10)
These little wipes are so cute, and they definitely come in handy when you are traveling. These wipes provide just the right amount of moisture and you can use them on literally any body part. They come in handy when you are in a restroom situation with no TP or if you are traveling in a country that uses manual bidets. These were decently thick, held up very well, didn't tear easily, had a perfect moisture level, and no scent. Did not leave the skin irritated or itchy after use.
