The Hobbit 75th anniversary

September 19 was the 75th anniversary of The Hobbit.

Four Books to rule them all,
Four books to find them,
Four books to bring them all,
and in fantasy bind them

In a house in a city lived a professor. Not a dusty old professor full of pedantry, nor yet a liberal arts professor. But a professor who wrote fantasies and that means comfort.

Happy Birthday to the dear Professor’s creation! I raise a pint to you!!

First edition would be worth something, as most of the publisher’s residual stock was destroyed in the Blitz.
