Translating and Illustrating Tolkien

J.R.R. Tolkien's works have gained global appeal, leading to translations

in over thirty languages and a host of stylistically unique illustrations.

As a translator and illustrator himself, Tolkien was acutely aware of the

challenges and benefits that both bring to a written text. Translating and

Illustrating Tolkien explores what these processes add to, emit from, or

complement Tolkien's original text.
