Synopsis

A special hardback edition of JRR Tolkien’s masterpiece of children’s literature, in a presentation box with the full-colour Map of The Hobbit, some large Hobbit postcards, plus an exclusive free CD of Tolkien reading poetry and extracts from The Hobbit.

Presented in a special gift box, this pack also includes a copy of John Howe’s delicious full-colour fold-out map of Wilderland showing Bilbo’s journey there and back again in glorious detail, a booklet by Brian Sibley about the writing of The Hobbit, plus six large postcards featuring Tolkien’s own magnificent paintings of his story.
