Created a new Calendar of the Month for June on the homepage of:
www.tolkiencalendars.com
It is probably appropriate given all of the talk about The Hobbit movie. Hope you enjoy it.
Away from The Green Hill Country,

Thanks Parmastahir! I haven't seen any of Lydia Postma's illustrations since I was a child. Brings back happy memories!

I've only ever seen the illustration on the cover! They are really charming and I love her Gandalf (December)

TOR.n is reporting that one of JRRT's early drawings is for auction at Sotheby's next week. It's a nice one, according to my taste, anyway, of Aunt Jane's farm, and they say that it includes one of the earliest known uses of the JRRT symbol/signature that we've seen in later works. It also says that it's unusual for one of his drawings to be sold; this one comes from one of Hilary's descendents.
So, anybody have a spare few pounds? (I do, but they're all around my waist!)

Wow - it is unusal for one to some up! Most are in the Bodleian with a few at Maquette University.
There's a lot of academic interest in Aunt Jane at the moment so the owner probably thought this was a good time to sell.
