A boxed gift set of Tolkien’s classic masterpieces, fully illustrated throughout in watercolor by the acclaimed and award-winning artist, Alan Lee, conceptual designer on Peter Jackson’s The Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit film trilogies.

Since they were first published, The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings have been books people have treasured. Steeped in unrivalled magic and otherworldliness, these works of sweeping fantasy have touched the hearts of young and old alike. Between them, over 150 million copies have been sold around the world. And no editions have proved more popular than the two that were illustrated by award-winning artist, Alan Lee–the Centenary edition of The Lord of the Rings and the 60th Anniversary edition of The Hobbit.

The hardcover editions of these beautifully illustrated works have now been collected together into one boxed set of four books. Readers will be able to follow the complete story of the Hobbits and their part in the quest for the Ring with breathtaking illustrations of the iconic scenes in this epic tale–beginning with Bilbo’s fateful visit from Gandalf in The Hobbit, continuing with the Council of Elrond in The Fellowship of the Ring and the Battle of Helm’s Deep in The Two Towers, and culminating in the dramatic climax between Frodo and Gollum atop Mount Doom in The Return of the King.
