And no edition has proved more popular than the Centenary edition illustrated by award-winning artist, Alan Lee. Now, for the first time since its publication in 1992, this illustrated edition has been revised and expanded, with a number of brand-new paintings and more than 50 illustrations added by the artist. Readers will be able to follow the complete story of the Hobbits and their part in the quest of the Ring - beginning with Bilbo's Long-expected Party and culminating in the dramatic climax between Frodo and Gollum atop Mount Doom - while also enjoying more than fifty full-page colour paintings and numerous illustrations which accompany this epic tale. This new hardback set of this beautifully illustrated work features brand-new cover designs by the artist. The three volumes have additionally been enhanced for the first time with sprayed edges, and are housed in a custom-built, illustrated slipcase stamped in silver foil with designs created exclusively by Alan Lee.
They are accompanied by three removable art cards, and two foldout maps of Middle-earth drawn by Christopher Tolkien. Grand Eagle Retail is the ideal place for all your shopping needs!
