About this deal

For the first time ever, a very special edition of the classic masterpiece, with the complete text and illustrated throughout by the author himself.

By using the Web site, you confirm that you have read, understood, and agreed to be bound by the Terms and Conditions. Steeped in unrivaled magic and otherworldliness, Tolkien's sweeping fantasy and epic adventure has touched the hearts of young and old alike. I guess, for many it might not be the most exciting part of the book, but for me, reading it felt like I’ve made that impossible climb myself. To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average.

Das Buch kommt in einem leinengebundenen Einschub, der es sowohl während des Versands als auch im Regal vor Staub und Beschädigungen schützt.

Folio commissioned Hokyoung Kim for the artwork, while the late author’s wife, Wendy Benchley, provides a fascinating new introduction. Both his parents died when Tolkien was young and he and his brother lived with a relative and later on, in boarding houses. But this limited-edition set of magnificently illustrated LOTR books feels like it could give even The One Ring a run for its money.

For the first time ever, a very special edition of the classic masterpiece, illustrated throughout in colour by the author himself and with the complete text printed in two colours. Tolkien certainly pulled out all the stops for this epic adventure of small folk on a dangerous quest to save the world. There’s next to no colour on these covers except a green hue around Shelob and a red light in the tower of Cirith Ungol. I will be reading this edition when I do my annual reread of The Lord of the Rings in December, though I have a feeling I will not allow myself to have my usual cup of tea at my elbow when I have this particular book in hand.
