Introducing: The Lord of the Rings

Few works of fiction have left as deep a visual impression as J.R.R. Tolkien’s The Lord of the Rings.  Some of the finest artists and filmmakers have taken Tolkien’s words and transformed them into indelible images.  But somehow, one of the most important and inspirational characters in The Lord of the Rings has been conspicuously absent from most previous adaptations of the work.

At Modern Illustrated Classics, we are taking a long overdue step to fix that oversight.  Introducing the new The Lord of the Rings: Tom Bombadil Edition.


Yes, we have distilled Tolkien’s 6 book, thousand page masterpiece into its very core essence – a handful of pages where a tiny man wearing yellow shoes shouts mystical gibberish at trees. Features of this beautiful new edition include:
  •           Tom Bombadil
  •           Tom Bombadillo, if you’re not into the whole brevity thing
  •           Bright blue jackets
  •           And yellow boots
  •           Ding dong the dally-o
  •           So much unnecessary poetry
  •           Guaranteed to contain no elements of plot.
  •           Ho dilly dally dong
  •           And more!


We hope you preorder The Lord of the Rings: The Tom Bombadil Edition, and also watch New Line Cinema’s 12-part film adaptation of this 50 page novel.
