A fabulous comprehensive collection of tolkien's major works, published by Harper Collins.
This collection features five of their 21st Century Deluxe Slipcased Editions, limited to only 100 sets, released in 2012.
Their previous collection only contained four of the slipcased editions.



This set includes the Harper Collins Deluxe Slipcased Edition of The Hobbit, the only edition to feature all 13 of tolkien's own illustrations for the book, reproduced in full color, together with his original maps reproduced as he originally intended, but not previously achieved in nearly 70 years of publications.

Also included is the Harper Collins 50th Anniversary Deluxe Slipcased Edition of The Lord of the Ring's, which features the pages from the Book of Mazarbul, as illustrated by J.R.R. Tolkien, which he intended for inclusion but were not used previously.

Included as well is the Harper Collins Deluxe Slipcased Edition of the Children of Hurin, which includes a ninth color plate by Alan Lee not featured inside the standard hardback. Also features the Helm of Hurin, as designed by Alan Lee, gilt stamped to the exterior.

Also included is The Harper Collins 30th Anniversary Deluxe Slipcased Edition of The Silmarillion. The newly reset edition feature's tolkien's, 'The Halls of Manwe', as the full color frontispiece, with the slipcase gilt stamped with the heraldic symbol he designed to represent Luthien.
This edition also includes Christopher tolkien's two color maps, including a fold out map of Beleriand, and as a Preface, tolkien's original letter of 1951 containing his account of the mythology of Middle-Earth. 

Also included is the Tales of the Perilous Realm, a new collection that draws together for the first time Roverandom, Farmer Giles of Ham, The adventures of Tom Bombadil, Smith of Wootton Major, and Leaf by Niggle, together with the landmark essay, 'On fairy-stories', all fully reset and corrected for this edit
