The Hobbit

This enhanced edition of The Hobbit features over 50 illustrations by J.R.R. Tolkien, bringing Bilbo Baggins' adventure to life in a unique way.

For the first time, an enhanced edition of The Hobbit presents an enchanting prelude to the beloved The Lord of the Rings. This special edition is beautifully illustrated, featuring over 50 sketches, drawings, paintings, and maps created by J.R.R. Tolkien himself. The complete text is thoughtfully printed in two colors, making this edition a visual delight for readers of all ages.

The story follows Bilbo Baggins, a hobbit who enjoys a peaceful life in his cozy hobbit-hole at Bag End. His tranquil existence is turned upside down when the wizard Gandalf and a group of thirteen dwarves arrive unexpectedly, inviting him on an adventurous journey ‘there and back again’. Their mission is to reclaim the treasure guarded by Smaug the Magnificent, a fearsome dragon that poses a significant threat.

Originally written for Tolkien’s children and published in 1937, The Hobbit quickly gained popularity, leading to multiple reprints and adaptations. This enhanced edition not only showcases Tolkien’s artistic talent but also includes many illustrations that have never been seen within the pages of The Hobbit before. Readers can now fully immerse themselves in Bilbo’s adventure, experiencing the rich world of Middle-earth through Tolkien’s own artistic vision.
