MIDDLE-EARTH TIMELINE
The Complete Guide to Middle-earth: From The Hobbit to The Silmarillion is an encyclopedia of Tolkien's world by Robert Foster, an American scholar. It lists in alphabetical order the people, places, things and events of Middle-earth, with references to the pages of Tolkien's books.
It began as A Guide to Middle-earth, published in 1971 by Mirage Press and covering The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings. After The Silmarillion came out in 1977, Foster expanded it to cover that book too, and the new version was published in 1978 by Ballantine Books in the US and George Allen & Unwin in the UK. It was one of the standard reference books for readers for many years.
