Jane Johnson’s non-fiction output consists of seven official visual companion books for Peter Jackson’s Middle-earth film adaptations. She wrote companions for each Lord of the Rings film (The Fellowship of the Ring, The Two Towers, The Return of the King) plus a combined volume, followed by three companions for The Hobbit trilogy.

These books reflect Johnson’s professional connection to Tolkien’s work through HarperCollins, where she served as the author’s publisher. The visual companions document the films’ production in detail.
