The Hobbit Facsimile Gift Edition [Lenticular cover] by J R R Tolkien

The Hobbit Facsimile Gift Edition [Lenticular cover] by J R R Tolkien

This sumptuous gift set includes a replica of the very rare first edition of The Hobbit, the only edition where one can now read the original version of the story before Tolkien re-edited it to become the one enjoyed by readers since 1951.

‘The Hobbit belongs to a very small class of books which have nothing in common save that each admits us to a world of its ownIts place is with Alice and The Wind in the Willows.’
Times Literary Supplement

‘One of the best loved characters in English fiction… a marvellous fantasy adventure’
Daily Mail

‘Finely written saga of dwarves and elves, fearsome goblins and trolls… an exciting epic of travel, magical adventure, working up to a devastating climax’
The Observer
