A review by elakudark
The Art of The Hobbit by J.R.R. Tolkien by Wayne G. Hammond, J.R.R. Tolkien, Christina Scull

5.0

I read this again because it was a required text for one of my uni classes, and I'm so glad that I did, close to exactly four years since I last read it. The ending never ceases to give me an indescribable aching feeling of wonder. This book is charming and wonderful and I'm glad to count it among my very favourites. I think this most recent reread has finally given me the push I needed to finally tackle Lord of the Rings.

"Roads go ever ever on
Under cloud and under star,
Yet feet that wandering have gone
Turn at last to home afar."
