Bilbo's Last Song

Bilbo's Last Song

<i>Bilbo’s Last Song</i> is considered by many to be Tolkien’s epilogue to his classic work <i>The Lord of the Rings</i>. As Bilbo Baggins takes his final voyage to the Undying Lands, he must say goodbye to Middle-earth. Poignant and lyrical, the song is both a longing to set forth on his ultimate journey and a tender farewell to friends left behind.<br /> Pauline Baynes’s jewel-like illustrations lushly depict both this final voyage and scenes from <i>The Hobbit</i>, as Bilbo remembers his first journey while he prepares for his last.
