Middle-earth
Hobbits' fantasy realm
Middle-earth is the fictional continent where most of J.R.R.
Tolkien's fantasy narratives unfold, including *The Hobbit* and *The Lord of the Rings*.
The name derives from an Old English term for the world of humans, situated between heaven and hell.
In popular usage, Middle-earth evokes a realm of elves, dwarves, hobbits, and epic quests: We spent the weekend binge-watching Middle-earth movies.
