Description: The Hobbit by J. R. R. Tolkien. Reprint. 19 black & white illustrations by Eric Fraser. Printed map endpapers. Bound in paper blocked in gold with a design by Francis Mosley. 248pp. 9x5¾in. For more than half a century readers have journeyed alongside Bilbo Baggins in The Hobbit, and his nephew Frodo inThe Lord of the Rings. Bilbo Baggins is a reasonably typical hobbit: fond of sleeping, eating, drinking, parties and presents. However, it is his destiny to travel to the dwarflands in the east, to help slay the dragon Smaug. His quest takes him through enchanted forests, spiders’ lairs, and under the Misty Mountains, where he comes across the vile Gollum, and tricks him out of his ’Precious’ - a ring that makes its bearer invisible, and wields a terrible power of its own. This edition is bound in parchment cloth blocked in gold, with an inset label showing Smaug the dragon. It contains 19 black-and-white illustrations by the great Eric Fraser, and endpapers printed in red and black ink, showing Thrór’s Map and Wilderland. Please look closely at the photos as they are part of the description. Will wrap and pack very carefully. Will post worldwide. Any questions please ask.
