Give this beautiful gift edition of J.R.R. Tolkien's enchanting tale, The Hobbit, fully illustrated by artist Jemima Catlin.
In The Hobbit, Bilbo Baggins enjoys a comfortable, unambitious life, rarely traveling farther than the pantry of his hobbit-hole in Bag End. But his contentment is disturbed when the wizard Gandalf and a company of thirteen dwarves arrive on his doorstep to whisk him away on a journey to raid the treasure hoard of Smaug the Magnificent, a large and very dangerous dragon....
"A glorious account of a magnificent adventure, filled with suspense and seasoned with a quiet humor that is irresistible... All those, young or old, who love a fine adventurous tale, beautifully told, will take The Hobbit to their hearts."—The New York Times Book Review

This was $15 VERY recently. I maybe would still get it at this price. I purchased it then and it's a beautiful book. It has a cloth cover and some of the drawings on the cover look painted on. It's a very nice edition. The illustrations are very old school fairy tale/story book. This would be a great edition for someone reading this to their child or for a school teacher reading it to elementary age children. The illustrations are very much in that vein. They are plentiful enough for kids. The hardcover seems very solid. This is a type of book I see being one that doesn't just sit on the shelf looking nice, but bringing it down to read from for family gatherings or at a school. Really nice edition. The green color of the cloth cover is very nice looking too.

I paid $14.xx for this last week. I've been on the hunt for a copy of The Hobbit that I swear I read when I was in elementary school and this is the closest I've seen so far.
