The hardback version feels amazing to hold, with a canvas outer shell using gold thread to bring the cover to life. Larger font than a usual hobbit print, and unique illustration styles to bring the pages to life. Absolutely perfect for children, whom you want to introduce to middle earth. My son will read this while I read my 75th anniversary edition, sharing the story together. One hour and he is hooked! Review: A beautiful edition of a classic tale. - This is a great edition of this classic tale. The illustrations are superb. My grandsons find it enchanting. Even before they can read it for them selves they love listening to the story while studying the illustrations. Also I love reading to them. I am sure they will treasure this book for years to come, and hopefully read it with their own children. Well worth paying a little extra for this book. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | 1,269,202 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) 279 in TV, Movie, Game Adaptations 380 in Coming of Age 410 in Fairy Tales (Books) | | Customer reviews | 4.8 4.8 out of 5 stars (6,695) | | Dimensions | 17.78 x 3.1 x 23.5 cm | | Edition | First Edition | | ISBN-10 | 0544174224 | | ISBN-13 | 978-0544174221 | | Item weight | 1.2 kg | | Language | English | | Print length | 384 pages | | Publication date | 1 Oct. 2013 | | Publisher | HarperCollins | | Reading age | 6+ years, from customers | ## Images ![The Hobbit: Illustrated Edition: Or There and Back Again - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71UZKQ3-wCL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A beautiful product, and introduction to Tolkien *by A***. on 24 March 2026* This is such an incredible print of The Hobbit.
