Product details
For more than half a century readers have journeyed alongside Bilbo Baggins in The Hobbit, and his nephew Frodo inThe Lord of the Rings.
Bilbo Baggins is a reasonably typical hobbit: fond of sleeping, eating, drinking, parties and presents. However, it is his destiny to travel to the dwarflands in the east, to help slay the dragon Smaug. His quest takes him through enchanted forests, spiders’ lairs, and under the Misty Mountains, where he comes across the vile Gollum, and tricks him out of his ’Precious’ - a ring that makes its bearer invisible, and wields a terrible power of its own.
This edition is bound in parchment cloth blocked in gold, with an inset label showing Smaug the dragon. It contains 19 black-and-white illustrations by the great Eric Fraser, and endpapers printed in red and black ink, showing Thrór’s Map and Wilderland.
‘One of the best children’s stories of the century’

I suspect Folio Society is not Folio Society without one of the books called The Hobbit. Sure it is a good book!

Since I own different editions of Tolkien's works, I am always looking for other "Special Editions". This edition of the Hobbit is of very good quality. The pictures are in black and white and nice to look at.

I purchased this as part of a set of LOTR books, so my review is the same for all of them: beautiful cover art, binding, and the pages are crisp and thicker than usual. The size and clarity of the text is perfect, and I truly enjoy the feel of it in my hands.

I really like the cover, quality, and illustrations. I think it is a bit pricey due to the title itself.
