Hobbit

Just found this:




It's by UK artist David Hardy, in a fine Bonestellian moment. Totally unrealistic, but it made me catch my breath.

And for that matter, the contents of the book are pretty good, though it does remind me that it must be 30 years since I bought my 30th Anniversary edition of Fantasy & SF. (Maths, see!)
