LotR Book 1 Chapter 6 “The Old Forest”

Tolkien‘s own illustration in pencil and color pencil of Old Man Willow along the Withywindle

His son John thought that this drawing was inspired by a willow along the banks of the Cherwell near Oxford.

Vansa This is SO beautiful 1y

BethM It seems unfair to be that talented lol 1y

JazzFeathers 🤩 l don't think l've ever seen this picture. 1y

Daisey @JazzFeathers This is definitely a book I would add to your some day list. It's fantastic and includes a wide variety of Tolkien's illustrations. I still haven't read near all the text, but I enjoy flipping through just to look at the art and read snippets here and there. 1y

#7Covers7Days #CoverLove #CoverCrush Day 6

This is supposed to be without explanation, but this #bookmail arrived yesterday and I can‘t help but share. I love Alan Lee‘s illustrations of Tolkien‘s Middle-Earth, but I also enjoy Tolkien‘s own illustrations more and more all the time. Just look at this cover as an example!

@JazzFeathers I know life has been busy, but want to join in sharing 7 covers you love? Seems a good day to tag you!

JazzFeathers Noooooo! Is this the same book @Riveted_Reader_Melissa has? 😱😲 Jealousy to the sky! Thanks for the tag. I've seen lots of people taking part with some gorgeous covers. I don't own many, but l'll try my hand at it. 5y

Daisey @JazzFeathers No, it‘s actually a different one. It think it has a lot of the same art, but it also includes description/explanation by a different set of authors. I decided on this one based on cost and after reading another of their compilations a few months ago.

The Art of the Hobbit by J.R.R. Tolkien

JazzFeathers @Daisey Nice! I'm going to check all of them 😏 5y

Riveted_Reader_Melissa Nope, it‘s definitely different @JazzFeathers ...now I‘m tempted again @Daisey 😱😂 5y

Daisey @Riveted_Reader_Melissa I‘m curious about the text comparison. The blurb for this one says over 200 reproductions of art from childhood drawings through his art to go along with the books. Of the illustrations relative to Middle-Earth, there‘s nothing I haven‘t seen elsewhere, including your newest book. It also has a lot of text by the authors/editors. @JazzFeathers 5y

Faibka Lovely! 5y

My haul from the wonderful exhibit on Tolkien‘s art at the Morgan Pierpont Library in NYC. It‘s the only US stop for the exhibit before it goes home to the Bodliean. For lovers of Tolkien‘s mythology, it‘s worth the trip!

Thought I would share this pic I took on Ljndesfarne last week - I‘m a) pretty proud of it as I have not had the camera out in too long and b) a bit obsessed with the idea that this is what the Lord of the Rings / Hobbit might have looked like If it had been set in Northumbria ...

Moray_Reads I spent a week there many years ago. It's a beautiful place and there's definitely something magical about it 6y

Itchyfeetreader @mabell @carolynm @LeeRHarry @LeahBergen thank you so much! 6y

Itchyfeetreader @Moray_Reads I am jealous I have been a few times as my in laws live outside Newcastle but always wondered what it was like when the day trippers left! 6y

Moray_Reads @Itchyfeetreader it's very quiet and peaceful. There's a wicked sticky plant in some areas called the piri piri, after one particular walk we literally had to throw clothes away because the flower heads are so difficult to remove! 6y
