What is the Green Book of the White Downs?



Many will have heard of the "Red Book of Westmarch", but few will likely have heard of the "Green Book of the White Downs"...

This obscure text, now located in the library of the Great Smials [1] and watched over by Donnamira Took [2], was the work of two explorers from very different backgrounds. One a Hobbit, born and bred in the Shire town of Michel Delving, the other an elder Elf, lost to her family for a long, long time but now joyfully reunited with her kith and kin. Together they formed an unusual friendship grounded in their love of old places, creatures and culture. As they wandered Middle-earth they took notes, made drawings, gathered information.

And so, after many years of exploration, and plentiful adventures, the authors settled down to document their tales and share their knowledge. This work became known as the "Green Book of the White Downs."
