Hardcover. Condition: New. Limited Edition. SIGNED BY PRISCILLA TOLKIEN. The Collector s Edition ofTolkien: Maker of Middle-earthis a unique keepsake of the landmark exhibition on the life and work of JRR Tolkien at the Bodleian Library in 2018 and the Morgan Library & Museum in 2019. Bound in Cialux and published in a custom-made presentation box, the book is printed with special endpapers reproducing Tolkien s drawing of the Elvenking s Gate. The Collector s Edition contains seven unique facsimiles items of JRR Tolkien s work printed on fine Italian paper. These include Tolkien s painting of the dust jacket forThe Hobbit, reproduced for the first time on both sides, revealing Tolkien s plea to his first publisher, Stanley Unwin, to print the sun in red and culminating in the underlined instructions to his printer on the reverse of the painting IGNORE RED . Also included is a drawing of the Tower of Orthanc, drawn on the back of an Oxford undergraduate student s exam paper on Chaucer which Tolkien has cancelled with diagonal lines, as well as a manuscript page fromThe Lord of the Ringsdescribing and illustrating Shelob s Lair. Both of these have never before been reproduced on both sides. For over 23 years, Tolkien wrote and illustrated Christmas cards and letters for his children, complete with beautifully addressed envelopes and exquisitely painted postage stamps. Included here is the Father Christmas letter and envelope for 1936, addressed to Tolkien s youngest children, Christopher and Priscilla, and bearing a jewel-like stamp from the North Pole, together with the accompanying Christmas card depicting Polar Bear s bath (which overruns and risks wetting the children s gift on the floor below). In the bottom section of the image, Polar Bear instructs the elves on the unique number set aside for every child, ensuring that Christmas gifts are matched and delivered to the correct recipient. Finally, a facsimile of the newly discovered map drawn by Christopher Tolkien, with annotations in JRR Tolkien s hand (including notes such as Hobbiton is assumed to be approx. at the latitude of Oxford , Minas Tirith is about thelatitude ofRavenna ), from which Pauline Baynes painted her poster map of Middle-earth. Each facsimile item is reproduced from newly commissioned photography, faithfully reproducing the originals kept in an underground safe in the Bodleian Library. Presented in a custom-made envelope bearing Tolkien s cipher, they are accompanied by a six-page illustrated guide describing and interpreting each facsimile item. Every copy of the Collector s Edition includes a limitation page signed by Priscilla Tolkien and hand-numbered, guaranteeing authenticity and making this an exceptional, truly unique edition for collectors. The edition is limited to just 675 copies and is expected to be in high demand. Catherine McIlwaineis the Tolkien Archivist at The Bodleian Libraries, University of Oxford.

Hardcover. Condition: Very Good Plus. 1st Edition. Published by Allen & Unwin, London, UK, 1949. 1st edition. Original cloth blocked in blue. Dustwrapper. Patterned endpapers. Pp. 79. Illustrated throughout by Pauline Baynes. Signed and dated 'Pauline Diana Baynes '58' to the title page. Originally completed in 1937, just after 'The Hobbit', this work was not published until 1949. It was the first of Tolkien's works to be illustrated by Baynes and launched her career. Tolkien wrote the following letter to her on the 4th June, 1949: 'Dear Miss Baynes, I ought to have written to you before to tell you of the great pleasure that your drawings in illustration of 'Farmer Giles' have given me. My friends, very justly, said after seeing them that they had reduced the text to a commentary on the pictures. I have now seen and returned the 'paste-up'; and though I am glad that so many of the illustrations have been preserved, at least in the sense that they are represented, I am distressed. Ignorant as I am of the costs and of production-processes, I had hoped for a larger page and space. I fear it has done small justice to your beautiful line and pattern to reduce the size so drastically. Even so, what little value this rather slender 'squib' has is much enhanced by your work. I am hoping soon to get some larger works published, and in a more ample fashion; and if so, I hope you might be interested, or at least have time to consider them. One, a long romance in sequel to The Hobbit, is finished after some years of work, and is being typed. It is held up at the moment, since I am immersed in examinations and other weary business; but when it's done, I wonder if I could prevail on you to glance at it. I hope that we may perhaps (have the?) opportunity of meeting ere (?) Yours sincerely, J.R.R. Tolkien'. One of Tolkien's greatest friends, C. S. Lewis had also admired her work in 'Farmer Giles of Ham' and chose her to illustrate the first work in his 'Narnia' series with the contract being agreed with his publisher, Geoffrey Bles in August, 1949. Binding nice and tight, with very slight forward lean. Pages and illustrations nice and clean. Boards slightly dusty, marked and rubbed but generally nice and bright. Very good indeed in a very good indeed slightly nicked, chipped, rubbed and price-clipped, supplied dustwrapper which has short closed tears to the front and rear panels. Exceptionally scarce signed and in a lovely and clean first-issue dustwrapper. Signed by Illustrator(s).

Wd. next Friday at 12 suit you? Don't bother replying if it would. Yours sincerely C. S. Lewis." The recipient of the letter, Anthony Spearing was assigned to report to Lewis as his PhD supervisor when he arrived as a student at Cambridge the same year Lewis arrived from Oxford as the first occupant of the new chair of Medieval and Renaissance English. He noted that "Lewis was extremely conscientious in commenting in detail on anything I submitted to him, and he most kindly went on doing that after I had ceased to be his superviseeâ ¦â (Spearing, C.S. Lewis as a Research Supervisor). Near fine in a very good price-clipped dust jacket. The autograph note is in near fine condition. Lewisâ beloved Chronicles of Narnia â must be judged the most sustained achievement in fantasy for children by a 20th-century authorâ (Carpenter & Prichard, 370). The second published of seven novels in the series, Prince Caspian follows the four Pevensie children as they return to Narnia a year following their initial visit to help Narniaâ s rightful ruler reclaim his throne. The Narnia tales rank â among the great classics of the [twentieth] century. Adored by children and academics alike, these books are extremely collectable, sought-after, scarceâ (Connolly, 186).
