Vintage 1975 ninth impression of The Adventures of Tom Bombadil and Other Verses from The Red Book by J.R.R. Tolkien, illustrated by celebrated Tolkien artist Pauline Baynes.
Published in London by George Allen & Unwin, this hardcover belongs to the original edition series first published in 1962. The copyright page clearly identifies this copy as the Ninth Impression, 1975.
Especially appealing is the retained original illustrated dust jacket, featuring Baynes’ distinctive wraparound artwork. Inside are Tolkien’s collection of 16 poems connected with the Shire, Middle-earth and the fictional Red Book, accompanied by Baynes’ charming illustrations.
An attractive vintage Tolkien collectible and a particularly nice display copy with its original jacket.
