The Hobbit US 70th Anniversary Edition HC
The Hobbit is a great modern classic and the prelude to The Lord Of The Rings. Written for J.R.R. Tolkien's own children, The Hobbit met with instant success when it was published in 1937.
The cover of this edition of The Hobbit reproduces Tolkien's own dust jacket design for the first edition. Tolkien's wish that the sun and the dragon be printed in red was dropped originally because of cost. This cover has the red dragon on the dust jacket just as Tolkien wished. The wrap-around painting was designed around the long road (on the spine) through the forest to the Lonely Mountain. On the back are night, darkness, and the evil dragon, in contrast with day, light and the good eagle on the front.
