Featuring poems written in Tolkien's inimitable style -- each of which add to the magic, mystery and lyricism of the epic saga The Lord of The Rings. These poems can also be enjoyed as a separate entity, apart from the main body of the text , with each stanza giving an insight into the mythology and sagas of Tolkien's parallel universe of Middle-earth. Trying to furnish England with a mythology he felt it hitherto lacked, and drawing on his own studies of epic poems of the past, including classics such as Beowulf, it could be argued that Tolkien's poetry is at the heart of the saga that was to become the Book of the Century. Alan Lee is the only artist ever commissioned officially to illustrate editions of 'The Lord of the Rings' and 'The Hobbit'. His work on Tolien's books has proven to be so defining that he has gone on to become a principal designer on the film adaption of the trilogy.
