It offered its reader, exhausted by the horrors of the First World War and fearful of the next, an escape into the imaginary lands of Middle Earth, travelling with them through the Shire, Rivendell and Mirkwood, leading to the climatic confrontation with the dragon Smaug under the Lonely Mountain. The Hobbit proved wildly popular and had completely sold out by December of the same year. The second impression soon followed, with a print run of 2300 copies, including new additions of colour plates and additional maps. The second printing bears the same date of publication “1937” on the titlepage and is often misidentified as the first edition of the work.Its popularity grew steadily on a global scale since its publication, with numerous editions published, and radio and television versions realised as far afield as Finland. In 2012-2014 it was once again honoured as a seminal work of fantasy literature, in Peter Jackson’s trilogy of film adaptations.As the work was intended to be book for children, few first edition copies emerge in the same outstanding condition as the present example. Ɵ Indicates that the lot is subject to buyer’s premium of 25% exclusive of VAT (0% VAT).

It remained unpublished on the author’s death, appearing first in this edition some four years later, with a text completed by his son, Christopher, from unpublished papers and materials.

Original green cloth. Front cover lettered in gilt within a gilt single rule border. Spine lettered in gilt, in the original cream-coloured dust jacket printed in dark green.Background; this is the first edition of a story written in 1907 for the Warne children, and rediscovered by Fruing Warne in 1918. He had expressed a preference for this title over Beatrix Potter's own preference Tale of Jenny Crow. Beatrix jibbed at the rather 'namby pamby' pigeons, since they left little scope for pictorial variety- 'it is too much pigeon over and over'- and she had never been good at birds. Potter could not be convinced to provide illustrations for this work and Warne at the time were not keen on using another illustrator that she recommended, and as a result this book was not published until this un-illustrated posthumous 1955 edition.Bibliography; Linder, A history of the writings of Beatrix Potter; pp1236-8 and 1715 and Taylor, Whalley, Hobbs, Battrick, The artist and her world, p168Provenance; sent in for sale by a member of the Warne family.
