Pauline Baynes

    Pauline Baynes was an English illustrator renowned for her distinctive style that brought seminal fantasy works to life. Her meticulous and accurate artistry shone particularly in her illustrations for the beloved Chronicles of Narnia series. She possessed a remarkable talent for capturing the essence of imaginary realms, leading to her selection by J.R.R. Tolkien himself to illustrate his tales. Despite beginning with little formal artistic training, Baynes developed exceptional skill in map-making and detailed scene creation, allowing readers to deeply immerse themselves in fantastical landscapes.

      Bilbo’s Last Song is considered by many to be Tolkien’s epilogue to his classic work The Lord of the Rings. As Bilbo Baggins takes his final voyage to the Undying Lands, he must say goodbye to Middle-earth. Poignant and lyrical, the song is both a longing to set forth on his ultimate journey and a tender farewell to friends left behind.Pauline Baynes’s jewel-like illustrations lushly depict both this final voyage and scenes from The Hobbit, as Bilbo remembers his first journey while he prepares for his last.

      Bilbo's Last Song
    • 'How ever did you learn to talk?' asked Shasta in amazement. 'Where I come from, nearly all the animals talk.' replied the Horse. 'The happy land of Narnia.' His whinny sounded very like a sigh. Bree, the horse, has been kidnapped from Narnia and longs to return there. Shasta, on the verge of being sold into slavery, decides to run away with him in search of the home he's always dreamed of. But the journey is full of surprises, and fraught with dangers, and when the companions uncover a treasonous plot, it also becomes a race against time.
