1966 The Hobbit  1^st ed | J.R.R. Tolkien 40^th printing + Maps + Original DJ

“Do you wish me a good morning, or mean that it is a good morning whether I want it or not; or that you feel good this morning; or that it is a morning to be good on?”

― J.R.R. Tolkien, The Hobbit

A rare, first edition 40^th printing of J.R.R. Tolkien’s ‘The Hobbit’. This work has remained one of the classic tales in children’s literature since its debut in 1937. It follows the life and journey of Bilbo Baggins as he begins an adventure to discover treasure guarded by a powerful dragon. Tolkien developed an entire world of wizards, elves, and epic battles in his ‘Lord of the Rings’ world of Middle Earth, which was loosely influenced by Richard Wagner’s ‘The Nibelung’s Ring’.

This early printing includes the classic green and blue dust jacket. A fine example of a popular and timeless tale.
