The illustration, "The Three Trolls are turned to Stone"
by J.R.R. Tolkien, appears for the first time.
Fully illustrated by the author, with 14 illustrations appearing in full color.
Also appearing for the first time is a fold-out version of Thror's Map, with the 'magic' runes only visible when the map is held up to the light, as the author intended.
For the first time the Map of Wilderland appears in blue and black, as the author originally intended.
tolkien's drawing of Mirkwood appears as the front endpaper and interior illustration.
Quarter bound in green, stamped in red and gold foil on grey boards, and housed in a matching slipcase.

This is very likely a later printing, and not a 1st impression of this edition.
This edition is available for a limited time only."
