Editor’s Note
- James Rose, Head of Editorial
Alan Lee's work has become synonymous with Middle-earth and his illustrations for The Hobbit are no exception. Featuring Alan’s already existing images we’ve added exclusive new artwork – including the leather quarter-binding and slipcase, new colour images, black-and-white borders and a special giclée print – and we've taken the maps and presented these in their own separate map case. Especially exciting, this limited edition has been personally signed by Alan Lee himself in each and every copy. As an accompaniment to our sell-out Lord of the Rings limited edition, or as an entry point to the world of Bilbo Baggins and Gandalf, this is the perfect edition of Tolkien’s first novel and one of the best-loved children’s books of all time.

‘The English-speaking world is divided into those who have read The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings and those who are going to read them.’
- Sunday Times
In The Hobbit, Bilbo Baggins, a quiet and rather unadventurous hobbit, is whisked away on a daring quest with a band of dwarves determined to reclaim their homeland and treasure from the fearsome dragon, Smaug. With a little nudge from the wizard Gandalf, Bilbo encounters trolls, goblins, elves and giant spiders, all the while uncovering a surprising amount of courage. Along the way, he stumbles across a magical ring that can turn him invisible. What begins as an unexpected journey soon transforms Bilbo into an unlikely hero, proving that even the smallest of us can make the greatest difference.
