Imagine hearing the tale told to you by its author, spun from golden yarn as he wove the adventure for you, thread by thread? I would recommend the following editions of the classic book not only for children and teensbut for whole families to enjoy together. It's worth remembering that the US ( William Morrow) releases have only been the trade / standard hardback initially, with the deluxe version coming out a year later. We also have an exclusive look at one of Tolkien's illustrations from the book if you're interested in seeing more of it before securing the new edition.

consisting of essentially Poems and Stories + Bilbo’s Last Song + fold-out maps—all her Tolkien maps! There’s The Lord of the Rings Illustrated, which came out in 2021, and The Silmarillion Illustrated, which arrived last autumn. Along the way, he comes into possession of the One Ring, an accident that will have some pretty sizable consequences in the years to come, as told in The Lord of the Rings. Tolkien’s own selection of finished paintings and drawings have become inseparable from his text, adorning editions of The Hobbit for more than 85 years. It's also quarterbound in green leather, with raised ribs on the spine, stamped in three foils on black cloth boards, and housed in a custom-built clothbound slipcase.If you would prefer a smaller paperback edition designed for young people, I would recommend this one.

The Hobbit is a great read-aloud for parents to share with children just as Tolkien shared the book with his children. There’s The Lord of the Rings Illustrated, which came out in 2021 and The Silmarillion Illustrated, which arrived last fall. But the published art has afforded only a glimpse of Tolkien’s creative process, and many additional sketches, coloured drawings and maps – although exhibited and published elsewhere – have never appeared within the pages of The Hobbit.Unique to this edition are two poster-size, fold-out maps revealing all the detail of Thror’s Map and Wilderland, an illustrated 88-page booklet, and a printed art card reproducing Tolkien’s original dustjacket painting.
