The set includes the Folio Society Limited Editions of The Hobbit, The Fellowship of the Ring, The Two Towers, and The Return of the King. All include updated artwork by Alan Lee, and both sets are signed by Mr. Lee on a tipped in limitation page (there are two signatures with two limitations). The trilogy was published as a set, The Hobbit on its own in 2024, and all copies were sold within an hour. The sets include all of the originally included material such as maps and prints, and are precisely rated as near fine. The slipcases of both are in fine condition, as are all the books. This is an increasingly rare set of books. Very heavy and may require additional postage. Enquire for direct invoicing. Seller Inventory # ABE-1752888305464

Tolkien composed his own version of the great legend of Northern antiquity, recounted here in The Legend of Sigurd and Gudrún. In the Lay of the Völsungs is told the ancestry of the great hero Sigurd, the slayer of Fáfnir, most celebrated of dragons; of his awakening of the Valkyrie Brynhild, who slept surrounded by a wall of fire, and of their betrothal; and of his coming to the court of the great princes who were named the Niflungs (or Nibelungs), with whom he entered into blood-brotherhood. In scenes of dramatic intensity, of confusion of identity, thwarted passion, jealousy, and bitter strife, the tragedy of Sigurd and Brynhild, of Gunnar the Niflung and Gudrún his sister, mounts to its end in the murder of Sigurd, the suicide of Brynhild, and the despair of Gudrún. The Lay of Gudrún recounts her fate after the death of Sigurd, her marriage against her will to the mighty Atli, ruler of the Huns (the Attila of history), his murder of her brothers, and her hideous revenge.
