The Hobbit -
John Ronald Reuel Tolkien
1961 - George Allen &, London - Thirteenth Impression
A superior early printing of the Hobbit, scarce in the original bright and sharp iconic dust jacket.
‘In a hole in the ground there lived a hobbit. Not a nasty, dirty, wet hole, filled with the ends of worms and an oozy smell, nor yet a dry, bare, sandy hole with nothing in it to sit down on or to eat: it was a hobbit-hole, and that means comfort.’ Tolkien’s classic, epic fantasy recounts the memorable adventures of Bilbo Baggins as he journeys through Middle-Earth, accompanying the wizard Gandalf and a merry tribe of dwarves as they attempt to reclaim the Lonely Mountain, and destroy the evil dragon Smaug. Illustrated by J. R. R. Tolkien with drawings throughout the text, a colour frontispiece and black and maps for endpapers in black and red.  More Details
