While Bilbo embarks on his last journey to the West, his mind is cast back to his first big adventure, The Hobbit. Tolkien`s beautiful poem is brought to life through Pauline Bayne`s stunning illustrations. It`s the perfect introduction to the epic fantasy series of The Hobbit and Lord Of The Rings for younger readers, and a real treat for all Tolkien fans. Baynes` illustrations have been fully restored in this fantastic new edition, which is published to coincide with the film release of The Hobbit in autumn 2012.
