About this Item
Description:
[Children's Fantasy] SECOND EDITION, the thirteenth printing overall. Octavo (20 x 14cm), pp.315 [1]. With colour frontispiece by the author, as well as occasional in-text illustrations and plates, and illustrated cartographic endpapers. Bound in mid-green half calf with raised bands, gilt titles to spine, matching cloth over boards. With the publisher's original illustrated cloth covers bound in at rear. Contents clean with gentle spotting to first and final gatherings, and to edges of text block, small and discreet ink note to margin of map endpaper. Exterior as new. A near fine copy in an attractive recent leather binding. Seldom has any book been so widely read and loved as this classic tale. Its hero, Bilbo Baggins, has taken his place among the ranks of the immortals: Alice, Pooh, Toad. Tolkien's Middle-Earth is a vast mine of treasures and knowledge, its roots delving deep into folklore, mythology and language. 'The Hobbit' is an ideal introduction to this richly imagined world, which was more fully and complexly realised in 'The Lord of the Rings' and 'The Silmarillion'. Seller Inventory # 68421
