As the title tells you, I have a few questions that deal with Tolkien's works and worlds.

My first questions deals with books like the Books of Lost Tales, 1 & 2. What are these. Are these the first little bits of Ea that Tolkien made up, little pieces that couldn't be included in the Silmarillion, or just another book of tales?

My second question deals with Beleriand. It was a land, I got that far, but was it changed to look like 3rd and 4th age Middle Earth, or was it part of 3rd...Age Middle-earth, just destroyed, leaving the parts mentioned in LotR. Or...what

My final question is about the Atlas of Middle-earth-Revised Edition. In it there are islands like the Dark or South Land, and pictures of sstuff like Tulkas's House, stuff like that. I looked in my Tolkien dictionary, and the Dark Land isn't talked about, and was the drawing of Tulkas's dwelling the author's or Tolkien's...?

Thank you very much fo' takin' th' tim' t' rea' thi'.
