Catalogue Note
Michael George Reuel Tolkien, one of Tolkien's grandchildren, was born in 1943. He would therefore have been around the age of nineteen when presented with this volume. Hammond and Anderson identify problems in the sequence of illustrations in the first impression and the second impression, offered here, shows some repositioning of Baynes' artwork.
