reign Posted May 10, 2016 Posted May 10, 2016 Which version of The Hobbit should I buy? I'd like to purchase it off Amazon. I would like one with illustrations. Anyone have a favorite? Thanks! Quote
raptor_dad Posted May 10, 2016 Posted May 10, 2016 (edited) I like the Michael Hague illustrated version. It is OOP but still available on amazon for under $20. Edited May 10, 2016 by raptor_dad Quote
Epicurean Posted May 10, 2016 Posted May 10, 2016 Th illustrated version by Jenima Catlin is incredible! Quote
BigMamaBird Posted May 10, 2016 Posted May 10, 2016 (edited) We have this one, illustrated by Alan Lee. Gorgeous! https://play.google.com/store/books/details?id=OlCHcjX0RT4C&source=productsearch&utm_source=HA_Desktop_US&utm_medium=SEM&utm_campaign=PLA&pcampaignid=MKTAD0930BO1&gl=US&gclid=CLH9iNW8z8wCFVaEgQodbEIHnA&gclsrc=ds Edited May 10, 2016 by BigMamaBird 2 Quote
alisoncooks Posted May 10, 2016 Posted May 10, 2016 (edited) Th illustrated version by Jenima Catlin is incredible! Yes! We love this one. We also have the Michael Hague one, but my (youngish) kids prefer the Catlin version. Amazon has "look inside" pictures. Edited May 10, 2016 by alisoncooks Quote
Kalmia Posted May 10, 2016 Posted May 10, 2016 Not as showy as some of the others, but this anniversary edition was illustrated by Tolkien himself. http://www.amazon.com/Hobbit-J-R-R-Tolkien/dp/0618968636/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1462884644&sr=8-1&keywords=the+hobbit+anniversary+edition I also have the one illustrated by Alan Lee and now covet the one illustrated by Michael Hague. How many editions of The Hobbit can one own? :) 2 Quote
Ravin Posted May 10, 2016 Posted May 10, 2016 I also have the one illustrated by Alan Lee and now covet the one illustrated by Michael Hague. How many editions of The Hobbit can one own? :) As many as have been printed, of course. 2 Quote
