title: The Hobbit With Roverandom and Tales from the Perilous Realm
author:  J.R.R. Tolkien 
description: Three of J.R.R. Tolkien's classic tales available in a uniquely stylish boxed-set to delight adults and children alike. Bilbo Baggins has taken his place among the ranks of the immortals of children's fiction. Written by Professor Tolkien for his own children, The Hobbit met with instant critical acclaim when first published in 1937. Now, for the first time, we are publishing the world's best loved childrens' tale alongside two other less well-known, but no less entertaining, Tolkien masterpieces. Each tale is written with the same skill, quality and hallmarks that made Tolkien's Hobbit a classic. Largely overlooked because of their relatively short lengths, they are finally together in a slipcase which reaffirms Tolkien's place as a master storyteller for readers young and old.

  THE GREAT HUNT
  
  “Jordan has come to dominate the world that Tolkien began to reveal. . . . The
  battle scenes have the breathless urgency of firsthand experience, and the . .
  . evil laced into the forces of good, the dangers latent in any promised
  salvation, the sense of the unavoidable onslaught of unpredictable events bear
  the marks of American national experience during the last three decades.”
  
  —Edward Rothstein, The New York Times
  
  “Those who like fantasy can rejoice. This is the genuine article . . .
  characters you can care about, a world you can believe in, hideous monsters,
  battles, magic, even love.
  
  “I only have one problem. How am I going to get by until the next volume comes
  out?”
  
  —John Lee, author of The Unicorn Solution
  
  “Rousing, slam-bang . . . full of valiant skirmishes, great heroes, and close
  rescues. The real war is only beginning, but this one battle at least ends
  with the sort of grand finale worth rereading a time or two.”
