The Nature of Middle-earth

Long after The Hobbit and Lord of the Rings were published, Tolkien continued to write about Middle Earth for decades. This collection offers never-before-published material drawn from his notes and manuscripts, describing various places and peoples of his fictional kingdom in greater depth. Learn all the tea about Elvish immortality and reincarnation, explore the land and beasts of Numenor, get a better sense of where all those rivers and mountain ranges lie in relation to each other, and enjoy a treatise on beards. Serves as a sort of natural history with many details and discoveries to delight fans and scholars.
