From the wet paths of the Marish to the hills overlooking the village of Scary, passing through the Buckland and the strange Old Forest, this book is an invitation to stroll the trails of The Shire, following paths that only hobbits with furrowed feet are used to walking on. 

This guide offers anecdotes and stories that this peaceful region abounds, recalling the etymology of words and names carefully chosen by J.R.R. Tolkien with his son Christopher, witnesses to all the love the author of the Lord of the Rings had for the English countryside.
