Beskrivelse

The Hobbit: Illustrated by Tove Jansson is a special 90th anniversary edition showcasing enchanting artwork by the creator of the Moomins. This edition brings Jansson’s charming illustrations to English readers for the very first time.

A beautifully illustrated journey through Bilbo Baggins’ unexpected adventure with dwarves and a fierce dragon.

Bilbo Baggins leads a quiet, unassuming life in his cozy hobbit-hole at Bag End until Gandalf the wizard and a group of dwarves whisk him away on a daring quest. Their goal? To reclaim the treasure hoard guarded by Smaug the Magnificent, a huge and dangerous dragon. Though hesitant at first, Bilbo surprises everyone with his cleverness and unexpected talent as a burglar.

This landmark edition presents the complete text of J. R. R. Tolkien’s classic tale, enhanced by Tove Jansson’s whimsical and tender illustrations. Originally created for a rare Swedish edition, these drawings are now available in English for the first time. Jansson’s art adds a fresh layer of magic and gentle humor to Bilbo’s journey, from the comfort of Bag End to the dark, riddled halls beneath the mountain.
