People have treasured The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings since they were first released. These works of sweeping fantasy, steeped in unrivalled magic and otherworldliness, have touched the hearts of young and old alike. Nearly 150 million copies of each have been sold worldwide. And no editions have sold as well as the two illustrated by award-winning artist Alan Lee – the Centenary edition of The Lord of the Rings and the 60th Anniversary edition of The Hobbit.
