I purchased this book for my grandson. I first read the Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit when I was in High School in the early 60's. A friend of my father's brought the books back with him from England and gave them to me as a birthday present. Oh how I would like to have them in good shape today, Black Leather covers and the Works. This is probably the BEST fantasy book to be written in our time. It is the basis for most of the fantasy written in the last 45 years. The characters have a personality, the land is "real" and the story holds your interest. Over the years I have recommended the books to many and they have said they were never disappointed. Even those who did not always read well. The story is that engaging. Most know the story from the Movies, but reading the books are a chance to "go there" for a while. I have reread both books a number of times and find a "new" experince with each reading. Thank you for your time.Read full review
This is a very nice edition to own. There are many well executed and colorful illustrations by Michael Hague. The book itself is of a large size and the type corresponds making it easier to read.

A good friend of mine who is hard to fit, wished for an apron of a specific style. This pattern was perfect for her.
