Bilbo's Last Song

by: J.R.R. Tolkien (author) Pauline Baynes (illustrator)

While Bilbo embarks on his last journey to the West, his mind is cast back to his first big adventure, THE HOBBIT.

J.R.R TOLKIEN's beautiful poem is bought to life through Pauline Bayne's stunning illustrations. It's the perfect introduction to the epic fantasy series of THE HOBBIT and THE LORD OF THE RINGS for younger readers, and a real treat for all Tolkien fans.

Baynes' illustrations have been fully restored in this fantastic new edition, which is published to coincide with the film release of THE HOBBIT in autumn 2012.

Clearly illustrated by someone deeply familiar with JRRT, there's a certain reverence to each page. The poe...

A very sweet farewell to Middle-Earth, this poem, written from Bilbo's perspective, is worth reading. The illustrations by Pauline Bayne, which also reflect on Bilbo's adventures in The Hobbit, add to the atmosphere of the very brief work.
