Synopsis

"Bilbo s Last Song" is considered by many to be Tolkien s epilogue to his classic work "The Lord of the Rings." As Bilbo Baggins takes his final voyage to the Undying Lands, he must say goodbye to Middle-earth. Poignant and lyrical, the song is both a longing to set forth on his ultimate journey and a tender farewell to friends left behind. Pauline Baynes s jewel-like illustrations lushly depict both this final voyage and scenes from "The Hobbit," as Bilbo remembers his first journey while he prepares for his last."

A propos du livre

Quatrième de couverture :

"Farewell to Middle-earth at last,

I see the Star above your mast"

In this beautifully illustrated book written by J. R. R. Tolkien, we follow Bilbo Baggins, the Hobbit himself, on his last journey to the West. It is here that he composes his last song, while reflecting on this first great adventure, The Hobbit.

The two stories are told simultaneously throught the illustrations; the large illustrations follow Bilbo on his journey to the Grey Havens, while the smaller illustrations along the bottom of each page show Bilbo's adventure as described in The Hobbit.

Biographie de l'auteur :
