J.R.R. Tolkien didn't just write a book when he came up with the Lord of the Rings series--he created an entire world: Middle-Earth.

This unofficial guide to Middle-Earth helps new and old fans alike become familiar with the history of Middle-Earth--including the languages, places, and people. It also contains a complete reference of every book, movie and game that the world is featured in.

This guide is unofficial not endorsed by the Tolkien estate.

HistoryCaps is an imprint of BookCaps Study Guides. With each book, a brief period of history is recapped. We publish a wide array of topics (from baseball and music to science and philosophy), so check our growing catalogue regularly to see our newest books.
