Tolkien Treasure Trove...Unveiled!
This article was posted by Maedhros on 5 Mar 2010, 08:08 pm
The Bodleian Library in Oxford showed more than 1,000 book fans some of its most precious JRR Tolkien illustrations today. To celebrate World Book Day, the library staged a special exhibition of The Lord of the Rings author's original artwork, which was used to illustrate his popular children's story The Hobbit.

Visitors to the library, off Broad Street, were shown a manuscript of Hobbit doodles and a rare first edition of the book.

That would be a nice exhibit to see. I echo Maedhros on the "doodles".

The 'manuscript of Hobbit doodles' would have been fun to see.
