<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>This lavishly produced celebration of Tolkien's art--from his earliest sketches to his work in "The Hobbit"--contains many never-before-published illustrations, along with detailed descriptions of the important relationship between his illustrations and his novels.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>J.R.R. Tolkien (1892-1973) renowned author of THE HOBBIT, THE LORD OF THE RINGS and THE SILMARILLION, was an artist in pictures as well as in words. Though he often remarked that he had no talent for drawing, his art has charmed his readers and has been exhibited to large and appreciative audiences the world over. In fact, his talent was far more than he admitted, and his sense of design was natural and keen.<br> J.R.R. TOLKIEN: ARTIST & ILLUSTRATOR explores Tolkien's art at length, from his childhood paintings and drawings to his final sketches. At its heart are his illustrations for his books, especially his tales of Middle-earth. Also examined are the pictures Tolkien made for his children, his expressive calligraphy, his love of decoration, and his contributions to the typography and design of his books.<br> With 200 reproductions, many in full colour, this lavishly-produced book offers a perfect opportunity for anyone wishing to discover a largely unexplored aspect of J.R.R. Tolkien's character.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"A Tolkien lover's dream." <p/>Booklist, ALA<br>
