When J.R.R. Tolkien wrote 'The Hobbit', he was already an accomplished amateur artist, and drew illustrations for his book while it was still in manuscript. 'The Hobbit' as first printed had ten black and white pictures, two maps, and binding and dust-jacket designs by its author. Later, Tolkien also painted five scenes for colour plates which are some of his best work. His illustrations for 'The Hobbit' add an extra dimension to that remarkable book, and have long influenced how readers imagine Bilbo Baggins and his world. This book presents a collection of the artwork created by the author for his story.
