"Middle-earth, the world created by J.R.R. Tolkien in his timeless classics The Hobbit, The Lord of the Rings and The Silmarillion, has been an inspiration for generations of artists.
In the year of the centenary of Tolkien's birth, this beautiful volume of artwork is being published to celebrate the legacy of his imagination.
Tolkien's World includes paintings by artists from all over the world - some famous for their interpretations of Tolkien's landscapes and characters, some yet to be famous. From the powerful representations of the darker side of Middle-earth by John Howe, to the evocative mysteries of Alan Lee; from delightful paintings by Michael Hague from The Hobbit to the strange and compelling vision of Roger Garland; from the engaging simplicity of Inger Edelfeld's work to the intricacy of dramatic realism of Ted Nasmith - Tolkien's World spans the whole of Middle-earth.
Each painting is accompanied by a page of text drawn from the work that inspired it, describing the scene the artist has chosen to illustrate, and the book also includes a short essay by each of the artists about Tolkien's influence upon them."
