The Hobbit: Illustrated Edition: An Illustrated Edition of Tolkien's Classic Epic Fantasy Adventure

This Hobbit: Illustrated Edition is beautiful! While a purist would probably wish for Tolkien’s own amazing drawings, like in the copies I grew up on, this makes the book a more approachable story for elementary school kids and their expectations in our world I think. There’s a small illustration on almost every page, and several bigger ones every dozen pages or so. The artwork looks almost Scandinavian in appearance, with the dark lines and the two-dimensional look. The quality is very good and worth the price. Consider this for reading to your kids or for a beautiful display!

Gorgeous art kept my 6 year old and I rapt throughout the adventure. It's a beautifully made book in itself, a wonderful gift.

My dad read The Hobbit to me when I was a kid over 40 years ago, and I recently bought this illustrated edition to read with my 11-year-old. It has been such an amazing experience — bringing back so many wonderful memories while creating new ones together. The story is just as magical as I remembered, and the illustrations make it even more engaging for young readers. Truly one of the greatest books ever written, and this edition is a fantastic value for anyone wanting to pass the adventure on to the next generation.

My favorite children’s book! This edition is absolutely beautiful. The matte hardcover feels very high-quality, the glossy pages are smooth and pleasant to touch, and the illustrations are just lovely. The colors are vibrant and perfectly printed. It’s definitely one of the best versions of this book. Highly recommend!

Perfect book for reading aloud to children. Font is perfectly sized to be easy to read. Every few pages has a small character illustration which is a fun addition as you're reading. Book was bound well and has a nice cover for display.

We love this book. It's a great story, of course. We're really impressed with the quality for the price, the print is a nice size (no tiny print), and the illustrations are so cool. It's definitely gift-worthy!

I looked at several versions of The Hobbit... including many collector editions...and went with the version. I am SO SO happy with this one. I didn't buy it for any kids, just myself and am thoroughly enjoying it. The cover is solid and beautiful, the pages are glossy with beautiful art work on like every other page. Absolutely beautiful!

Such a nice quality book - very impressed with the fabric book cover, thickness of pages and illustrations. Such a great value!

Libro arrivato in ottime condizioni, ideale come regalo o per arricchire la propria collezione Copertina rigida ma ricoperta da uno stratto morbido

Tanto las ilustraciones como, obviamente, la historia son muy bellos. Lo compré para leérselo a mis hijos y les ha encantado, me piden ellos que se los siga leyendo. También la textura y material de la portada, en el caso del de pasta dura, tiene muy bonitos materiales y acabados. Muy recomendable para niños de 6-7 años en adelante.

É muito bonito e vale a pena principalmente pra mostrar pras crianças pois tem muitas ilustrações

It was exactly what we wanted

This is a great edition of this classic tale. The illustrations are superb. My grandsons find it enchanting. Even before they can read it for them selves they love listening to the story while studying the illustrations. Also I love reading to them. I am sure they will treasure this book for years to come, and hopefully read it with their own children. Well worth paying a little extra for this book.
