Article at tor<dot>com celebrating the cartography skills of the late Christopher Tolkien.

"Christopher Tolkien’s [Middle-Earth] map proved to be a huge influence on the fantasy genre. It helped set the norm for subsequent epic fantasy novels; indeed it became the norm. Epic fantasy novels would come with maps—were supposed to come with maps—and in many cases those maps would look a lot like the one drawn by Christopher Tolkien."

A look at an abbey in France currently featuring the first tapestries of the "Aubusson Tisse Tolkien" project ("Aubusson weaves Tolkien"), launched by the Cité internationale de la tapisserie in Aubusson, France.

It also features Christopher Tolkien (JRR Tolkien's son) and a charming talk he gives at the abbey.
