Description: Realms of Tolkien includes paintings by many of the well-known interpretors of Tolkien's world: Alan Lee, renowned for his atmospheric interpretations of folklore and legend, and of course for his stunning illustrations for The Lord of the Rings; John Howe's powerful representations of the landscapes and peoples of Middle-earth; Ted Nasmith's classically accurate and dramatic pictures; and Inger Edelfeldt's beautiful and unusual illustrations. This exciting new collection also features many talented amateur artists from all around the globe, demonstrating the wealth and variety of artwork that the writings of J. R. R. Tolkien have inspired, including the Dutch artist Cor Blok, whose work was much admired by Tolkien himself. In full colour throughout, Realms of Tolkien is a perfect gift book for Tolkien fans of all ages, and a work of art in itself. Each picture is accompanied by a page of text from the relevant passage in Tolkien's fiction, describing the scene the artist has chosen to depict. Also included is a short piece about each artist describing the influence of Tolkien on their life and work.
