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 love the intricate cover design. Some of the gold is already fading around the dragon and the spine. Other than that, standard quality from Folio Society. By standard quality I mean sturdy slipcase, great binding, beautiful illustrations and cover design, readable text, and quality paper. I'm thinking I may have to complete the LOTR set...
