Publisher's Synopsis
An exciting new postcard collection featuring the original artwork of J.R.R. Tolkien.
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. In fact, for him the two were closely linked, and in his paintings and drawings he displayed remarkable powers of invention that equalled his gift for words.
Now, following the great success of the three previous postcard books, Tolkien's Middle-earth, Tolkien's Dragons and Monsters and Tolkien's Hobbit, J.R.R. Tolkien's own artwork can be seen in this format. This collection contains twenty full-colour illustrations by Tolkien - some well-known ones from The Hobbit, plus many other, lesser-known, works.
Designed so that the cards can be removed and used, or enjoyed as a picture book, this new collection will make an ideal gift.
