Add to basketFirst edition. Octavo. Publisher's pictorial paper covered boards, with a full-colour wraparound design illustrated by Pauline Baynes, in the original dustwrapper of the same design. Illustrated by Pauline Baynes in line and with full-page illustrations in black and orange. A bright, near fine copy, in a very good dustwrapper indeed,a couple of unnecessary tape repairs to back of jacket. The final book set in Middle-Earth to be published in Tolkien's lifetime. Tom Bombadil first surfaced in a 1934 poem Tolkien published in the Oxford magazine, and in 1937 Tolkien suggested that this character could be the hero of a sequel to The Hobbit. This didn't come to fruition, but in the 1960s Tolkien's aunt Jane Neave suggested he should produce a gift book about Tom Bombadil that people could buy at Christmas presents. Tolkien and his publisher collected poems about Tom, and other poems from Middle-earth into the present volume.
