Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With Christopher Tolkien as your guide, take a tour through this colourful gallery of enchanting art by J.R.R. Tolkien, as published originally in the first groundbreaking Tolkien Calendars of the 1970s. This collection of pictures, with text by Christopher Tolkien, now reissued after almost 30 years, confirms J.R.R. Tolkien's considerable talent as an artist. It provides fascinating insight into his visual conception of many of the places and events familiar to readers of The Hobbit, The Lord of the Rings and The Silmarillion. Examples of his art range from delicate watercolours depicting Rivendell, the Forest of Lothlorien, Smaug and Old Man Willow, to drawings and sketches of Moria Gate and Minas Tirith. Together they form a comprehensive collection of Tolkien's own illustrations for his most popular books. Also included are many of his beautiful designs showing patterns of flowers and trees, friezes, tapestries and heraldic devices associated with the world of Middle-earth. In their variety and scope they provide abundant visual evidence of the richness of his imagination. This enchanting gallery was personally selected by Christopher Tolkien who, through detailed notes on the sources for each picture, provides unique insight into the artistic vision of his father, J.R.R. Tolkien.

Tolkien's epic fantasy trilogy, featuring "The Fellowship of the Ring," "The Two Towers," and "The Return of the King," accompanied by stunning illustrations that bring Middle-earth to life in vivid detail. In "The Fellowship of the Ring," readers are introduced to the peaceful land of the Shire and its unassuming protagonist, Frodo Baggins, who embarks on a perilous quest to destroy the One Ring and save Middle-earth from the dark lord Sauron. Joined by a diverse fellowship of elves, dwarves, men, and hobbits, Frodo and his companions journey through enchanted forests, treacherous mountains, and haunted ruins, facing countless dangers and adversaries along the way. "The Two Towers" continues the saga as Frodo and his loyal friend Samwise Gamgee venture into the heart of enemy territory, while their companions confront their own trials and challenges in the war-torn lands of Rohan and Gondor. As the forces of darkness gather and the fate of Middle-earth hangs in the balance, alliances are forged, battles are fought, and sacrifices are made in the struggle against evil. Finally, in "The Return of the King," the epic climax unfolds as the armies of Middle-earth converge for the ultimate showdown between good and evil. With the fate of the world hanging in the balance, Frodo and Sam must overcome their own inner demons and confront the dark power of the One Ring in the fiery depths of Mount Doom. Illustrated with breathtaking artwork that captures the grandeur and beauty of Tolkien's mythical world, "The Lord of the Rings: Illustrated" is a must-have edition for fans of epic fantasy and literary adventure. With its timeless tale of courage, friendship, and the triumph of good over evil, Tolkien's masterpiece continues to captivate readers of all ages and inspire generations of storytellers.

Book excerpt: Fifty years ago, shortly after The Lord of the Rings was first published, Cor Blok read the trilogy and was completely captivated by its invention and epic storytelling. The breadth of imagination and powerful imagery inspired the young Dutch artist, and this spark of enthusiasm, coupled with his desire to create art that resembled a historical artefact in its own right, led to the creation of more than 100 paintings.Following an exhibition at the Hague in 1961, JRR Tolkien's publisher, Rayner Unwin, sent him five pictures. Tolkien was so taken with them that he met and corresponded with the artist and even bought some paintings for himself.The series bears comparison with the Bayeux Tapestry, in which each tells an epic and complex story in deceptively simple style, but beneath this simplicity lies a compelling and powerful language of form that becomes more effective as the sequence of paintings unfolds.The full-colour paintings in this new book are presented in story order so that the reader can enjoy them as the artist intended. They are accompanied by extracts from The Lord of the Rings and the artist also provides an extensive introduction illuminating the creation of the series and notes to accompany some of the major compositions. Many of the paintings appear for the very first time.Readers will find Cor Blok's work refreshing, provocative, charming and wholly memorable - the bold and expressive style that he created stands as a unique achievement in the history of fantasy illustration. Rarely has an artist captured the essence of a writer's work in such singular fashion; the author found much to admire in Cor Blok's work, and what higher accolade is there?
