Though the jacket for the new edition does not show a shot from the film (still very much under wraps) it shows a younger Bilbo Baggins just stepping out from Bag End and beyond him, the village of Hobbiton in The Shire.
I am lucky enough to have been to Hobbiton and find, as I gaze at the new jacket, that I am quite moved, but then I'm a big softy.
It really is a great looking edition and the advice on its face bears thinking about.
THE HOBBIT - READ IT BEFORE YOU SEE IT.
But then, I suppose, as Gildor once said '... advice is a dangerous gift, even from the wise, to the wise...'
