Book excerpt: A collection of J.R.R. Tolkien's Hobbit poems in a miniature hardback volume complete with illustrations by Tolkien himself. Far over misty mountains cold To dungeons deep and caverns old We must away ere break of day To seek the pale enchanted gold. J.R.R. Tolkien's acclaimed The Hobbit contains 12 poems which are themselves masterpieces of writing. This miniature book, illustrated with 30 of Tolkien's own paintings and drawings from the book -- some quite rare and all in full colour -- includes all the poems, plus Gollum's eight riddles in verse, and will be a perfect keepsake for lovers of The Hobbit and of accomplished poetry.
