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. J.R.R. TOLKIEN: ARTIST amp
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. 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.
