It's my birthday, and I wants it...
Well, it's not actually my birthday until Saturday, but my birthday present arrived in the mail yesterday.
The 70th Anniversary illustrated hardback edition. It's not the annotated version, which would interest me, but rather the plain text edition that I can read to my son as bedtime stories, the way it was intended.

Pretty. That cover art is hard to beat.
ReplyDeleteI can't believe it either. Then again, even though Tolkien is behind a lot of what we do, it's more through influence so the name need not even come up. I haven't mentioned him yet, although I've not been able to avoid 'The Lord of the Rings'. I wonder what he'd have to say about all of this if he were here?
Lucky you! That is indeed something to treasure.
ReplyDeleteGood score. And early happy birthday. :)
ReplyDeleteNice.
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday!
ReplyDeleteHi Dennis: Happy soon-to-be birthday. What a great gift.
ReplyDeleteHappy Reading :-)
Hey again. Thanks for stopping by. Here's the one with Sheldon dressed as Wonder Woman. Thought your wife might find it funny.
