Sinossi
Disponibile per la prima volta in un unico volume, questa è la raccolta definitiva dei cinque acclamati racconti "fatui" moderni classici di Tolkien sullo stile di "Lo Hobbit", completamente corretti e ripristinati per questa edizione e tutti splendidamente illustrati a matita dal pluripremiato artista Alan Lee. I cinque racconti sono scritti con la stessa abilità, qualità e fascino che hanno reso Lo Hobbit un classico. Ampiamente trascurati a causa della loro breve lunghezza, sono finalmente insieme in un volume che riafferma il posto di Tolkien come maestro narratore per lettori giovani e meno giovani. • Roverandom è un cane giocattolo che, incantato da uno stregone della sabbia, esplora il mondo e incontra creature strane e favolose. • Il contadino Giles di Ham è grasso e poco eroico, ma - essendo riuscito inconsapevolmente a spaventare un gigante miope - viene chiamato a combattere quando un drago arriva in città; • Le avventure di Tom Bombadil racconta in versi le numerose avventure di Tom con hobbit, principesse, nani e troll; • Foglia di Niggle racconta le strane avventure del pittore Niggle che si mette in viaggio per dipingere l'albero perfetto; • Il fabbro di Wootton Major viaggia nella Terra delle Fate grazie agli ingredienti magici della Grande Torta della Festa dei Bambini Buoni. Questa nuova collezione è completamente illustrata dall'artista premio Oscar, Alan Lee, che fornisce una ricchezza di disegni a matita per dare vita alle storie come ha fatto in modo memorabile per Lo Hobbit e I figli di Húrin. Alan fornisce anche una Postfazione, in cui apre la porta all'illustrazione del mondo di Tolkien. L'autore ed esperto di Tolkien di fama mondiale, Tom Shippey, accompagna il lettore attraverso i collegamenti nascosti nei racconti alla Terra di Mezzo di Tolkien nella sua Introduzione, e ne racconta la storia e i temi. Infine, incluso come appendice, c'è il saggio più famoso di Tolkien, "On Fairy-stories", in cui discute brillantemente delle fiabe e del loro rapporto con la fantasia. Nel complesso, questa ricca raccolta di opere nuove e sconosciute dell'autore di The Children of Húrin offrirà al lettore un viaggio affascinante in terre selvagge e strane come la Terra di Mezzo.

Informazioni sugli autori
J.R.R.Tolkien (1892-1973) was a distinguished academic, though he is best known for writing The Hobbit, The Lord of the Rings and The Silmarillion, plus other stories and essays. His books have been translated into over 80 languages and have sold many millions of copies worldwide.
Alan Lee was invited to illustrate the centenary edition of The Lord of the Rings, which led to further Tolkien editions, including The Hobbit and the three ‘Great Tales’: The Children of Húrin, Beren and Lúthien and The Fall of Gondolin. He worked as Conceptual Designer and Set Decorator on both Middle-earth film trilogies, receiving the Academy Award for Best Art Direction for his work on The Return of the King.
Dalla quarta di copertina
Available for the first time in one volume, this is the definitive collection of Tolkien's five acclaimed modern classic 'fairie' tales in the vein of 'The Hobbit', fully corrected and reset for this edition and all beautifully illustrated in pencil by the award-winning artist, Alan Lee. The five tales are written with the same skill, quality and charm that made The Hobbit a classic. Largely overlooked because of their short lengths, they are finally together in a volume which reaffirms Tolkien's place as a master storyteller for readers young and old. * Roverandom is a toy dog who, enchanted by a sand sorcerer, gets to explore the world and encounter strange and fabulous creatures. * Farmer Giles of Ham is fat and unheroic, but - having unwittingly managed to scare off a short-sighted giant - is called upon to do battle when a dragon comes to town; * The Adventures of Tom Bombadil tells in verse of Tom's many adventures with hobbits, princesses, dwarves and trolls; * Leaf by Niggle recounts the strange adventures of the painter Niggle who sets out to paint the perfect tree; * Smith of Wootton Major journeys to the Land of Faery thanks to the magical ingredients of the Great Cake of the Feast of Good Children. This new collection is fully illustrated throughout by Oscar-winning artist, Alan Lee, who provides a wealth of pencil drawings to bring the stories to life as he did so memorably for The Hobbit and The Children of Hurin. Alan also provides an Afterword, in which he opens the door into illustrating Tolkien's world. World-renowned Tolkien author and expert, Tom Shippey, takes the reader through the hidden links in the tales to Tolkien's Middle-earth in his Introduction, and recounts their history and themes. Lastly, included as an appendix is Tolkien's most famous essay, "On Fairy-stories", in which he brilliantly discusses fairy-stories and their relationship to fantasy. Taken together, this rich collection of new and unknown work from the author of The Children of Hurin will provide the reader with a fascinating journey into lands as wild and strange as Middle-earth.
