The Tolkien-Bestiary by David Day? Is that what you mean?

I don't know if you can find it on line but I know most people prefer the Arda Encyclopedia as on line Tolkien-source.

I have it.

Very nice illustrations, but some of the information is outdated (and/or incorrect).

I have it too (well technically my dad had it but since it moved to my room ever since, I consider it mine), it was my first introduction to Tolkien and I used the drawings of the dragons as documentation for my final work at saterday art school.

Yeah, I also "inherited" (=stole

) it from my father, together with a 1st edition of the Silmarillion (heard someone sold the same edition for a lot of money). Used to draw Gondolin just as it was drawn there. A very beautiful picture...

Is there a downloadable version of the encycopedia?

Falagar · 01-09-2004, 07:44 PM
