The Hobbit serialization in Princess Magazine

The complete fifteen-part magazine serial, illustrated by Ferguson Dewar, 1964–1965.

This abridged serialization of The Hobbit appeared in the British magazine ‘Princess’, which was aimed at teenage girls.

The story was split up into fifteen installments and issued on a weekly basis between October 10, 1964 and January 16, 1965.

The covers of the magazine can now be called vintage and the illustrations by Ferguson Dewar were very original and even funny.

The text of the Hobbit was very successfully reduced to a minimum by cutting out a lot of parts.

Very light age-toning, small areas of damage along the top edges of the magazines, and some slightly bumped edges.
All in archival protective sleeves.

Overall Very Good Plus condition, complete and tight.

Princess Magazine is now hard to find and serious Tolkien collectors are willing to spend a lot of money on a complete collection.

A complete set rarely comes up for sale and any of these are hard to find.

An unusual period presentation of The Hobbit, preserving its illustrated magazine serialization.

Other Tolkien books available, include both the UK and US editions, original cloth bindings, custom fine bindings, and Signed/Numbered/Limited Editions.
