Bilbo's Last Song (Middle Earth, #4.5)

"Farewell to Middle-earth at last.
I see the Star above my mast!”"
This is a touching little poem written by Tolkien in the guise of Bilbo himself as he prepared to leave middle-earth via the Grey Havens into the west. It’s like a final goodbye, a drawing of the curtain, to Tolkien’s vast and beautiful fantasy world.
It’s very short, and it’s very simple because it’s a song. It’s also available online for free and it’s not hard to find, but what makes this edition really special are the illustrations. I love having it on my bookshelf, though I think for many it will be a little superfluous.

I have actually reviewed this before, but for some reason my review was deleted. I'm not sure when.

Cool! I had no idea this existed. I’ve been meaning to get back into the lord of the rings universe. It’s been a while. This is a good incentive to pull out my old beat up paperbacks. I’ll hopefully read this after my way over due reread of lord of the rings
