Pauline Baynes was een Engelse illustratrice, bekend om haar kenmerkende stijl die baanbrekende fantasywerken tot leven bracht. Haar nauwgezette en precieze kunstenaarschap kwam vooral tot uiting in haar illustraties voor de geliefde serie "De Kronieken van Narnia". Ze bezat een opmerkelijk talent om de essentie van imaginaire rijken vast te leggen, wat ertoe leidde dat ze door J.R.R. Tolkien zelf werd geselecteerd om zijn verhalen te illustreren. Ondanks dat ze met weinig formele artistieke opleiding begon, ontwikkelde Baynes uitzonderlijke vaardigheden in kaarttekenen en het creëren van gedetailleerde scènes, waardoor lezers diep konden opgaan in fantastische landschappen.






Tells the tales of Narnia, a magical, fantastic place where good and evil battle, children have adventures as kings and queens, and beasts and creatures can talk
This is the 50th anniversary edition of Tolkien's best-loved short fairy story, originally told to his children in the 1920s and expanded for publication in 1949. Bluff Farmer Giles lives in a land-of-fable England, full of giants and dragons. A reluctant hero like the Brave Little Tailor or Bilbo in The Hobbit , Giles wins a great reputation by firing his blunderbuss at a wandering giant--who retreats not in fear but to avoid this tiresome stinging "insect". One thing leads to another, and despite all his excuses the now famous Giles is called to save his country from the marauding dragon Chrysophylax. He has a legendary anti-dragon sword and a lot of luck, but dragons can be as devious as politicians... Tolkien crammed much sly wit into his little story, plus jokey philological explanations that Giles's amazing adventures are commemorated in Thames Valley placenames like Worminghall and Thame. It's illustrated with nearly 50 line drawings by Paula Baynes: Tolkien loved these, but some look sadly faded here, like fourth-generation photocopies. As a bonus, the anniversary edition includes an introduction telling the story's history, a transcription of the original, unfinished draft, and 23 pages of notes on allusions and names (Chrysophylax means "keeper of gold", which is indeed what dragons do). A pleasant gift book. -- David Langford
The seven chronicles of Narnia are collected in a beautifully presented slipcase, featuring original artwork by Pauline Baynes.
Bilbo’s Last Song is considered by many to be Tolkien’s epilogue to his classic work The Lord of the Rings. 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.Pauline Baynes’s jewel-like illustrations lushly depict both this final voyage and scenes from The Hobbit, as Bilbo remembers his first journey while he prepares for his last.
