From the blurb Here is the first fully illustrated, deluxe edition of the complete original text of Tolkien's great classic, precursor to the trilogy Lord of the Rings. This character-by-character, scene-by-scene rendition will surely do for The Hobbit what Tenniel did for Alice in Wonderland, what Arthur Rackham did for Wind in the Willows. The illustrations and cinematic sequence drawings based on the animated film by Arthur Rankin, Jr. and Jules Bass give visual life to Bilbo Baggins, the dwarves, Gandalf, Smaug and all the rest. Tolkien himself would certainly have been delighted. The Hobbit is known to millions of readers around the world. But never before, even in the author's own illustrated versions of the fairy tale, has every quaint and endearing character and each suspenseful scene in the saga been attempted and accompanied by every word Tolkien finally committed to print in 1937. This full-fledged picture-book version with some 230 lively paintings and drawings will enchant young and old. The world of Middle Earth, with its spooky Misty Mountains and turbulent Running River comes fully alive. This book is in near-fine condition in the near-fine printed dust jacket that was issued with the book. There is a double page fold out of the cast of characters. A wonderful copy of a very scarce and important book on the wonderful world according to J. R. R, Tolkien.
