<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>Celebrated Tolkien illustrator Alan Lee, a conceptual designer for the blockbuster films based on "The Lord of the Rings, " contributes beautiful full-color paintings to this classic edition.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>The Lord of the Rings, J.R.R. Tolkien's three-volume epic, is set in the imaginary world of Middle-earth - home to many strange beings, and most notably hobbits, a peace-loving little people, cheerful and shy. Since its original British publication in 1954-55, the saga has entranced readers of all ages. It is at once a classic myth and a modern fairy tale. Critic Michael Straight has hailed it as one of the very few works of genius in recent literature. Middle-earth is a world receptive to poets, scholars, children, and all other people of good will. Donald Barr has described it as a scrubbed morning world, and a ringing nightmare world...especially sunlit, and shadowed by perils very fundamental, of a peculiarly uncompounded darkness. The story of ths world is one of high and heroic adventure. Barr compared it to Beowulf, C.S. Lewis to Orlando Furioso, W.H. Auden to The Thirty-nine Steps. In fact the saga is sui generis - a triumph of imagination which springs to life within its own framework and on its own terms.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>Here are beauties which pierce like swords or burn like cold iron. -- C.S. Lewis <p/>Destined to outlast our time. The New York Herald-Tribune <p/>Exciting... Mr. Tolkien's invention is unflagging -- W.H. Auden<br>
