Description

A special enhanced edition of J.R.R. Tolkien's beloved tale, featuring over 50 original sketches, drawings, paintings, and maps by the author himself. This unique edition presents the complete text in two colours, alongside the author's own artwork, offering a fresh glimpse into Tolkien's creative process. Published in 1937, The Hobbit was written for Tolkien's own children and has since become an instant success. The book's beautiful cover design and initial black and white drawings have been joined by the author's own finished paintings and drawings, which have adorned editions for over 85 years. This enhanced edition brings together the full panoply of Tolkien's art, presenting a previously unseen collection of over 50 illustrations to accompany Bilbo Baggins on his adventure 'there and back again'.
