| | J.R.R. Tolkien |
 | | Tolkien's epic world is populated by elves, dwarves, magicians, and evil monsters. |  | | Tolkien's Catholicism does not appear overtly in the book. |  | | Most of the inhabitants of Tolkien's imaginary Middle-Earth are derived from English folklore and mythology, or from an idealized Anglo-Saxon past. |

| | The Encyclopedia of Arda: Disclaimer and Bibliography |
 | | This presents a particular problem in compiling an encyclopedic work such as this site: it cannot be possible to be completely truthful to Tolkien's vision, because that vision never achieved a complete and unified whole during his lifetime. |  | | This is not to say that an Encyclopedia of the Lost Tales, say, wouldn't be a fascinating undertaking in itself, but it isn't what this site's about. |  | | We don't intend to provide entries for subjects that appear only among the volumes of The History of Middle-earth. |
