A UNIQUE TRIBUTE TO A TIMELESS WORK
In 1977, The Folio Society's edition of The Lord of the Rings was first produced. A landmark in its own right, it was the first ever illustrated edition approved by the Tolkien Estate. In 1979, The Folio Society published the illustrated edition of The Hobbit. The first four volumes contain original illustrations, designed by Ingahild Grathmer and drawn by Eric Fraser. In 1997, The Folio Society published the The Silmarillion, which was illustrated by Francis Mosley.
