A fascinating journey through the artistic creation of Middle-earth
Alan Lee is the illustrator of the highly-successful centenary edition of The Lord of the Rings and diamond edition of The Hobbit. He studied graphic design and the depiction of Celtic and Norse myths and has illustrated a wide range of books, including Faeries, Merlin Dreams and Castles, and was conceptual designer for Terry Jones' film Erik the Viking. He was awarded the Kate Greenaway Medal for his illustrated edition of Black Ships Before Troy.
‘Alan Lee’s artwork has a beauty and lyricism about it. His art
captured what I hoped to capture with the films.’
Peter Jackson ‘Among the greatest works of imaginative fiction of
the 20th century.’
Sunday Telegraph ‘An extraordinarily imaginative work, part saga,
part allegory, and wholly exciting.’
The Times ‘A grand piece of work in both conception and
execution.’
Daily Telegraph
