Tolkien’s The Hobbit, and includes dozens of brand-new paintings and pencil drawings exploring the world of Bilbo Baggins.Since The Hobbit was first published in 1937, generations of readers have fallen under its spell. That magic was reignited sixty years later, when Alan Lee was commissioned to produce a special illustrated edition, and his delicate pencil drawings and beautiful watercolour paintings have become for many the definitive vision of J.R.R. Tolkien’s Middle-earth.In this sumptuous, large-format hardback Alan Lee reveals in pictures and in words how he created these images, which would prove so powerful, matching perfectly with Tolkien’s own vision, that they would eventually define the look of Peter Jackson’s film adaptations and earn Alan a coveted Academy Award.The Hobbit Sketchbook is filled with more than 100 of his sketches and early conceptual pieces that reveal how the project progressed from idea to finished art. It also contains a wealth of brand-new full-colour paintings and sketches drawn specially for this book, which unlock the secrets of how Alan creates his own magic and provide a fascinating insight into the imagination of the man who breathed new life into Tolkien’s vision.

Painstakingly restored from Tolkien's manuscripts, this epic tale presents the story of Beren and Lúthien as a continuous and standalone narrative, reuniting fans with the rich landscape of Middle-earth, populated by Elves, Men, Dwarves, and Orcs. This tale is essential to the evolution of The Silmarillion, reflecting the myths and legends of the First Age conceived by J.R.R. Tolkien. Written after his return from the battle of the Somme in 1916, the story centers on the love between Beren, a mortal man, and Lúthien, an immortal Elf. Their love is shadowed by the opposition of Lúthien's father, a powerful Elvish lord, who imposes an impossible task on Beren before he can wed her. This sets the stage for their heroic quest to confront Morgoth, the greatest evil being, in an attempt to steal a Silmaril. Christopher Tolkien endeavors to extract this story from its larger context, illustrating its evolution through various forms, including prose and verse from later texts. By presenting these elements together for the first time, he reveals aspects of the narrative that were lost over time, showcasing the development of this legendary tale within Middle-earth.

The official Tolkien calendar, this year containing 12 of the finest watercolours by Alan Lee, selected from BEREN AND LÚTHIEN by J.R.R. Tolkien, and accompanied by numerous pencil sketches, many unique to this calendar.

De kinderen van Húrin is het verhaal van het tragische lot van de mensenheld Húrin en zijn kinderen Túrin en Nienor, die allen een grote rol spelen in de mythologie die Tolkien creëerde voor Midden-aarde, in de tijd dat Elfen en Mensen nog niet van elkaar vervreemd waren. J.R.R. Tolkien begon al in 1918 aan het schrijven van De kinderen van Húrin. Het is een van de drie ‘Grote Verhalen’ waar hij zijn hele leven lang aan bleef werken en als zodanig een van de pijlers die de geschiedenis van In de ban van de ring schraagt.
