And while the art doesn’t compare to the Peter Jackson movies it brings the story and characters to life in a refreshing way. I personally love Lee's style, though there are many who will be biased towards Catlin's lighthearted artwork. Have wanted this book for years! Would recommend

’Who could not be lured into the depths by that, especially this extra special hardback edition? Being in possession of both the editions, I think this is more of an apples to oranges comparison. But I just cannot imagine fun artwork of this sort making its appearance in an edition of LOTR anytime soon. This brings us directly to the important question.

I'm guessing most people will be buying for kids but as an adult I still think its lovely to read and keep as well I’ve purchased this for my nieces eleventh birthday and I am blown away by how lovely it is. The images in this edition have more of a cartoonish sort of feel which complement the overall trip-happy vibe in 'The Hobbit'. The current stock images + 'LOOK INSIDE' facility above give an idea of the content.
