Wer die Welt von Herr der Ringe und der Hobbit liebt, für den ist dieses Buch eine sehr schöne Ergänzung. Ich liebe es die Geschichte auch aus seiner Perspektive zu sehen und wie gewisse Personen, Gegenstände und Landschaften hätten sonst noch aussehen können.

A beautifully crafted book encasing beautiful sketches. This is an insight to what it took to just get a rough idea for the Hobbit movie.

I love the elaborate detail he seems to put into every pencil sketch.

I started at several of these sketches for what seemed like hours. A wonderful reference if you want to get into sketching and work on detailing in pencil.

This also gives an insight on Alan Lee himself as the artist.

Beautiful sketches and watercolour paintings accompanied by anecdotes of the authors involvement in the production of The Hobbit movie trilogy. The book could only have been improved with more stories but it is beautifully written. His skill as an artist is amazing and makes this book a great coffee table book in addition to a good read.

I’ve long been a fan of Alan Lee’s Middle Earth art. Looking at his art and reading his thoughts along side was a great treat. My only complaint is that I wish it was a bigger book.
