J.R.R. Tolkien (1892-1973) was a distinguished academic, though he is best known for writing The Hobbit, The Lord of the Rings and The Silmarillion, plus other stories and essays. His books have been translated into over 30 languages and have sold many millions of copies world wide.
Alan Lee is the creator of the highly successful illustrated edition of The Lord of the Rings, and winner of the 1994 Kate Greenaway Medal for Children’s Book Illustration. He is currently working as a production designer on New Line Cinema’s Lord of the Rings movie trilogy.
Smaug certainly looked fast asleep, when Bilbo peeped once more from the entrance. He was just about to step out on to the floor when he caught a sudden thin and piercing ray of red from under the drooping lid of Smaug's left eye. He was only pretending to sleep! He was watching the tunnel entrance…
Whisked away from his comfortable, unambitious life in his hobbit-hole in Bag End by Gandalf the wizard and a company of dwarves, Bilbo Baggins finds himself caught up in a plot to raid the treasure hoard of Smaug the Magnificent, a large and very dangerous dragon. Although quite reluctant to take part in this quest, Bilbo surprises even himself by his resourcefulness and his skill as a burglar!
Written for J.R.R. Tolkien's own children, The Hobbit met with instant critical acclaim when published in 1937. This special edition contains 65 illustrations, 26 of them in full colour, specially commissioned from artist Alan Lee to commemorate the sixtieth anniversary of its publication.
'A finely written saga of dwarves and elves, fearsome goblins and trolls … an exciting epic of travel and magical adventure, all working up to a devastating climax'
OBSERVER
