Tolkien and the Lord of the Rings by Colin Duriez

The book opens with an introduction to the various parts and chapters of The Lord of the Rings and links this to a subsequent A-Z section, divided into sub-sections, e.g. beings, places, events, writing, themes. The last part of the book is a brief biography of Tolkien, with information on his professional life, his friends (such as C.S. Lewis and the Inklings) and the shape of his thought and work. This is a refocused and updated version of his earlier book, Tolkien and Middle-Earth Handbook (Monarch, 1992).
Colin Duriez is the author of The CS Lewis Handbook (Monarch), The C.S. Lewis Encyclopedia (Crossway, 2000), The Poetic Bible (SPCK, 2001) and with David Porter, Azure's forthcoming Inklings Handbook. He is also General Books Editor at Inter-Varsity Press. He lives in Leicester.
